'Depolarizing' America
Edie Norton will
introduce the national volunteer organization, Better Angels, whose aim is to
politically “depolarize" America. She is the organizer of local skills training
workshops, such as a “Red-Blue” workshop in which equal numbers of
liberals and conservatives each describe and evaluate the stereotypes they feel
others use to label them. She will also introduce the Better Angels Alliance concept,
ongoing self-managed groups made up of both liberals and conservatives who want
to understand each other better in order to solve problems together. BUF
attendees will learn how they can get involved and help depolarize our local
county and city communities.
