The family can often be a microcosm of America – divided and torn – wanting to heal and not knowing how. In honor of Thanksgiving, join The Democracy Group, Braver Angels, and Culture Shift Agency in this structured conversation exploring how to move from a divided table to one where everyone feels more nourished.
Each guest for this panel has unique experience that informs their understanding of the complex prism of democracy. We will have a discussion that connects that understanding to the everyday and perhaps walk away inspired to have a better Thanksgiving experience. After all, if we can't learn to work with the divide at our family table, what hope do we actually have to deal with the future of our democracy?
A recording and transcripts of this event are available at democracygroup.org.
