What if we simply gave everyone the chance to be heard and have a chance to discuss who they are?

“When you succumb to cynicism you give it power. What we are doing is hard because it is unprecedented. We are trying to be planet Earth's first multiracial, multicultural, and multifaith democratic republic at scale. That hasn't existed before.“ @ericpliu amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/08/28/u…

Addressing loneliness and social isolation can improve health outcomes for individuals and communities. It’s time to refocus on strengthening our connections with one another and rebuilding community.

‘Pluralism is not merely civility or some naïve belief that people can simply overlook their disagreements. Rather, it holds that our differences are a strength. Conflict is a necessary part of social change. Yet it doesn’t have to break us.’ @newpluralists @UmaViswanathan
The @newpluralists funder collaborative is taking on a steep challenge: polarization in America. Guest contributor Uma Viswanathan discusses the group’s approach to bridging divides and its first moves. bit.ly/39TmNLS

The most important frame of mind is intellectual humility, which I think of as being righteous without being self-righteous. In other words, you can hold strong opinions while being curious about and respectful of other views.

Important and practical pointers from @nataliabbogdan on how we shift narratives and culture on immigration in ways that bind, rather than break with broad swaths of the public.@ForBelonging @MPI_Europe @MittelWorld
The better solutions are to:
✔️ Facilitate meaningful contact between refugees & receiving community members
✔️ Address underlying sources of tension, including fears over resource or job scarcity
