Peacebuilding in Practice: Perspectives from Community Members Taking Action Across Divides

June 2, 2021

Our panelists participated in the inaugural 2020-2021 Uniting for Action: America cohort, a diverse group of 33 Americans from different communities with political views across the ideological spectrum, who worked together to take action on challenges relating to the economy, food waste, race, media, and education. What did they learn about communicating and engaging with people across divides? What advice do they have for their fellow Americans concerned about conflict dynamics in the United States? This session dived in to learn more about how community members in the U.S. are taking action to bridge divides.
