Jared Young is a whole new kind of leader—one deeply focused on uniting Americans, rather than encouraging the extremism and divisiveness pushed by our Two Party system. In July 2024, he announced "United Seats of America," an unorthodox political project that gave away free premium tickets to Cardinals and Royals games. The catch? People had to sit next to a stranger with different views than their own.
Thousands of Missourians signed up—proof of how willing Missouri voters are to find common ground. We created two films about two of these gatherings. The first film highlights Julian (a lifelong Democrat) and John (a lifelong Republican), who spent three inspiring hours together at a Cardinals Game. The second tells the story of political opposites Luke (a lifelong Republican) and Kirby (a lifelong Democrat) and how they overcame divides at a Royals Game.
The story of how two political opposites and strangers, John and Julian, spent three inspiring hours together at a Cardinals Game.
Kirby and Luke met for the first time and an enjoyable Royals Game together, despite their opposing ideologies.
