Depolarizing Within

SAT JUNE 18, 2:00PM-4:00PM ET (Zoom)

Much of today’s polarization is driven by how we talk with like-minded people about those on the other side. Too often, we stereotype, dismiss, or ridicule our fellow citizens who support the other political party, its leaders, and its policies. Become more aware of your "inner polarizer.” Learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule. Join other CT Alliance members in this free online workshop by Braver Angels San Francisco.
