American Listening Project celebrating America Talks this weekend. Join the effort to listen across the political divide. You only have to be brave once. After that, it’s all practice. #listenfirst #americatalks #alp
They listened across the political divide! How it works: find someone you disagree with. (We can help!) Each person speaks about their views for 4 minutes. The other listens with the intent to understand. Then write down on what you have in common, what you agree on and what you don’t agree on. We’d love it if you take a selfie and share it with us! It’s not an argument! It’s a chance to recognize the humanity of somebody you may have othered. #americatalks #americans_listen #ListenFirst #ALP
