OUR AUTHENTIC APPROACH
ARE WE TALKING - OR ARE WE LISTENING?
Learning how to structure conversations across our differences is critically important to get into right relationship with one another. Through text messaging and phone calls, we’re having deep conversations with people across the country. We've already had 74,000 conversations and it is making a tremendous impact in our ability to connect with one another and find common ground.
Hear from some of our outreach volunteers:
“This project has given me hope that there is a path to healing our divide, to finding common ground, and to bringing civility back to our discourse. It has provided me a way to channel my energy into something that can make a real difference.”
“This program has given me the opportunity to get beyond the disbelief and anger built up over the last 4 years (and more) by finding the courage to be empathetic while reaching out to the Far Right. It’s frightening to me to think we could be heading towards an increasingly ‘white supremacist’ society, so I am motivated to do my part in the protection of our democracy.”
“To me this project is critical. We are all interconnected. This project will help us understand how we became so disconnected so that we can become connected again.”
