The book club is yet another activity within our group to learn and to promote greater understanding. \nThis is more than a typical book club – it is a conversation. It is an opportunity to read resources that reveal research\, data\, and even narratives that get to the heart of matters of division and reveal facts that often go overlooked in today’s social environment. With this in mind\, the first meeting will cover what is actually not a “book”\, but a published report titled\, Hidden Tribes: A Study of America’s Polarized Landscape. I am sure that you will find this publication interesting and revelatory to the challenges we see today. The report is by More in Common\, an international initiative to build societies and communities that are stronger\, more united\, and more resilient to the increasing threats of polarization and social division.

Unity: In a nation of immigrants\, what makes us ‘one people’? DESCRIPTION:Diversity and immigration have always shaped the American story. From the nation’s beginnings\, the United States has wrestled with a core question: What holds us together as one people when we come from so many different places? And as a corollary: Can a shared national culture coexist in a multicultural society with large-scale immigration? \nThis conversation invites participants to consider a central American tension: Are diversity and unity in conflict—or can they strengthen each other in the United States? \nMulticulturalism is generally understood as a social and political framework in which multiple cultural\, ethnic\, religious\, or linguistic traditions are recognized\, protected\, and allowed to flourish within a single society\, rather than being absorbed into a single dominant culture. \nSome argue that when multiculturalism emphasizes group identity over shared civic norms\, it can weaken social trust\, shared values\, and national cohesion. In this view\, a strong common culture rooted in shared civic expectations\, language\, and norms is necessary for democratic solidarity and social stability\, particularly amid high levels of immigration. \nOthers contend that multiculturalism is compatible with\, and even supportive of\, a shared national culture. Immigrants may change the fabric of a society’s culture but so does the passage of time\, new technology\, social media\, a native-born population\, and much more. Immigrants change culture for the better by introducing new ideas\, expertise\, customs\, cuisines\, and art. Far from erasing the existing national culture\, they expand it in a way that is essential in an interconnected world. \nHere are a few questions we might explore: \nWhen you think about being ‘American\,’ what does that mean to you personally? And where did your sense of belonging in this country come from – family\, school\, religion\, community\, or something else?\nWhat values or habits do you think Americans need to share in order for our democracy to work?\nWhat does multiculturalism mean to you?\nCan a country be both strongly multicultural and strongly united—or do those pull in opposite directions?\nWhat role do things like language\, religion\, education\, and economic opportunity play in how easily newcomers integrate into American life?\nWhat do you think newcomers should learn or adopt in order to fully belong in American civic life?\nWhat do you think a community needs to offer to immigrants to help them assimilate?\nIf you could design one policy or civic practice to strengthen American unity\, what would it be? \n** This event is open to the media upon approval.

We don’t see them as they see themselves–their core values and central concerns–but instead as we choose to see them. We are tempted to regard our own side as principled and the other side as self-interested. \nWhen we try to communicate across this gap\, we often lack the skills for listening carefully\, looking for common ground\, and sharing our perspectives in ways that connect rather than create more misunderstanding. \nWe can learn to disagree better in polarized times\, which means accurately seeing where we differ and where we share common ground. \nGoals \n\nMore understanding of the values and concerns of people who differ from you politically\nBetter skills for listening in a way so that the other person feels heard\nBetter skills for sharing viewpoints in a way the other person might hear — even if they disagree\n\nThis workshop is a free event brought to you by Braver Angels as part of our mission to depolarize America.
