Meet the change leaders: Caleb Christen

Caleb Christen

Nevins is co-publisher of The Fulcrum and co-founder and board chairman of the Bridge Alliance Education Fund.

A lawyer by trade, Caleb Christen has served in the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps since 2007, including two deployments to the Middle East. He is now a senior officer in the Navy Reserve. Attending seminary and an executive education program in organizational leadership helped Christen identify that communities are not thriving as they were intended and that people must work together to transform American democracy and civic health.

As a result, Christen co-founded the Inter-Movement Impact Project to promote organizing for collective impact. His new focus is on “Better Together America,” a collaborative network providing support to the local democracy hubs that are emerging in communities across the United States.


Christen holds a law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School, a master of arts degree in Christian practice from Duke Divinity School, a post-graduate diploma in organizational leadership from Oxford University’s Said Business School and both a graduate certificate in international politics and practice and a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Kristina Becvar, co-publisher of The Fulcrum and executive director of the Bridge Alliance, had the opportunity to interview Christen a few weeks ago for the CityBiz “Meet the Change Leaders” series. Watch to learn the full extent of his democracy reform work:

Patriotic Songs Reveal the America ICE Is Betraying

For over two hundred years, Americans have used songs to express who we are and who we want to be. Before political parties became so divided and before social media made arguments public, our national identity grew from songs sung in schools, ballparks, churches, and public spaces.

Our patriotic songs are more than just music. They describe a country built on dignity, equality, and belonging. Today, as ICE enforces harsh and fearful policies, these songs remind us how far we have moved from the nation we say we are.

At Long Last...We Must Begin.

As much as I wish this were an article announcing the ninth episode we all deserve of Stranger Things, it’s not.

A week ago, this was a story about a twelve-minute Uber ride with a Trump-loving driver on a crisp Saturday morning in Nashville, TN. It was a good story. It made a neat point: if this conversation can happen here, it can happen anywhere.

I Ran as a Democrat in a Red State. Here’s What I Learned

South Dakota is a state rich in natural beauty and resources. From the granite peaks of the Black Hills to windswept prairies that stretch for miles, there is nowhere quite like home for me.

Every fall, hunters arrive to pursue the Chinese Ring-Necked Pheasant, our state bird. In days past, a different kind of hunter also frequented our state: political strategists in pursuit of votes for storied South Dakota Democrats like George McGovern and Tom Daschle.

Building a Stronger “We”: How to Talk About Immigrant Youth

The speed and severity with which the Trump administration has enacted anti-immigrant policies have surpassed many of our expectations. It’s created upheaval not just among immigrant communities but across our society. This upheaval is not incidental; it is part of a deliberate and consistent strategy to activate anti-immigrant sentiment and deeply entrenched, xenophobic Us vs. Them mindsets. With everything from rhetoric to policy decisions, the Trump administration has employed messaging aimed at marking immigrants as “dangerously other,” fueling division, harmful policies, and the deployment of ICE in our communities.

For those working to support immigrant adolescents and youth, the challenges are compounded by another pervasive mindset: the tendency to view adolescents as inherently “other.” FrameWorks Institute’s past research has shown that Americans often perceive adolescents as wild, out of control, or fundamentally different from adults. This lens of otherness, when combined with anti-immigrant sentiment, creates a double burden for immigrant youth, painting them as doubly removed from societal norms and belonging.
