Depolarizing Within - Becoming a Better Angel in Your Own World

Much of today’s epidemic of toxic 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. This workshop will help you become more aware of polarization inside us and between us; teach you skills for being critical without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping the millions of people who differ from you politically; and help you learn how to intervene in a constructive way in social conversations that 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.” Learn more at www.better-angels.org.
