In April 2017, The KIND Foundation launched a social media experiment, Pop Your Bubble, after learning that only 5% of people see social media posts that differ greatly from their world view. The tool connected Facebook users with people who were different than them. In just under a year, Pop Your Bubble fostered more than 65,000 unlikely connections between Americans! Although the experiment has now ended, we encourage each of you to keep opening yourself up to new people and perspectives and to continue building mutual understanding.
