In this fourth of the Bridging Divisions series, we will try to answer this question. Discussion topics will include; what this time in our country calls us to do, what “our side” gets wrong, how and when to “fight," how to better understand and not demonize the “other side." We'll also look at a survey of depolarizing initiatives, and healing friend and family ruptures. There will be short weekly readings. Previous groups in the series included Liberals for Cultural Moderation and Critical Thinking, and Bridging Divisions: Complexity, Curiosity and Compassion.
