What if we learn the discipline of non-polarizing attitudes and words about the political “Other” with whom we do share a national past and future?
This workshop will:
- Help you become more aware of your inner polarizer
- Help you learn ways to depolarize yourself so that you can disagree without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping the millions of people who differ from you politically
-Teach you skills for how to intervene in social conversations with likeminded people when those conversations veer into contempt and ridicule for people who hold other political views
Better Angels is a national nonprofit with a mission to depolarize America. Its leadership is half “red” and half “blue”. Instead of asking people to change their minds about key issues, let's give all Americans a chance to better understand each other, to absorb the values and experiences that inform our political philosophies, and to ultimately recognize our common humanity.
