An Invitation from the LWV/National Institute of Civil Discourse (NICD)

Sign up for our own NWOC network event entitled “Listening with Empathy and Humility” on  Tuesday, June 15, 2021 at                                                                     3pm Eastern.  Register here. 
"America Talks" June 12 and 13
​In America today, it can feel difficult to bridge our divides. We might feel tempted to give up or not even try. But this puts America on a shaky path, as we increasingly demean, demonize, and dehumanize each other. Political gridlock and dysfunction, as well as societal and cultural rifts, are only deepening.

​America Talks is a powerful two-day event that invites Americans to connect one-on-one, face-to-face on video across our political divides. By doing so, we remind ourselves that the "other" is – just like us – a person with family, friends, hopes, fears, values, beliefs, and intrinsic worth. 
These conversations will take place the weekend of June 12th and 13th. One simple conversation, even if multiplied thousands of times, won't transform our country. But it's a start. 

Join this powerful event and speak directly with other Americans seeking to repair divides, restore connection, and find common cause.  *Register here.

*When you register, you will be asked to confirm your approval to share your contact information with Gannett Publications.  They own USA Today – one of the main sponsors of this event.  In our quest to fight mis/disinformation, it’s important to support newspapers who maintain journalistic standards.  USA Today has been a partner with organizations committed to this work. 

National Week of Conversation, June 14-20
​You are invited to choose courage over contempt in our National Week of Conversation. Register to participate here. 
 We invite you to sign up for our own NWOC network event entitled “Listening with Empathy and Humility” on Tuesday, June 15, 2021 at 3pm Eastern.  Register here. 
 From our work together, we know that the ability to hold reasoned discussions, where all voices carry equal weight is foundational for our democracy to survive/thrive. Democracy demands discussion - it’s the quality of those discussions that makes all the difference.  Listening for understanding, speaking with empathy and humility, or respectfully challenging different ideas creates a pathway that allows us to find common ground and elevate productive solutions.  We hope you’ll participate in these events.  If not you, then who?
