Let’s re-envision the town hall by learning how to talk to one another! We'll gather and share stories of who we are and why we are choosing to be engaged in Democracy! We'll give a "book tasting" from Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from a Culture of Contempt by Arthur Brooks, as well as visit conversation strategies from Monica Guzman’s book, I Never Thought of it That Way: How to have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times. Through our own personal stories, we'll discuss what most concerns us, listen to the concerns of others and practice for future political and policy discussions in our next two workshops! Leave with strategies to help extend these conversations further into our communities, “rippling out” to others with perceived different views.

Hope. Kindness. Connection.
