Join us virtually via Zoom!
As political polarization deepens across the United States, many Americans are finding it increasingly difficult – even impossible – to have meaningful conversations with family members, friends, neighbors, and colleagues who hold different beliefs. Studies show the country is now more intensely divided than at any point since the Civil War, raising urgent questions about what is lost when communities retreat into ideological bubbles.
This virtual panel discussion features three experienced speakers in civil dialogue and cross-partisan engagement, exploring how nonviolent communication can restore trust, strengthen relationships, and help communities rebuild a healthier democracy.
