Difficult Dialogues: Community Conversations series (partnered withÌýÌýand theirÌýÌýseries).
The avenues for expressing ourselves have exploded in the last decade, from the proliferation of social media, the expansive use of mobile communication devices, email, blogs, tik tok, and so much more. In this environment, we are frequently exposed to challenging speech. And when we engage in social and political dialogue, or even merely expressÌýopinions, we may encounter repercussionsÌýwe never anticipated. Join us for an evening in which we try to understand both our rights and responsibilities when it comes to Free Speech.

Event Guidelines
Our objective is NOT to necessarily agree, fix anything, prove anyone right or wrong, or alter anyone’s position.
We are committed to fostering productive dialogues in the hopes that minds and hearts might expand. We ask that you:
1. Keep an open mind
2. Be respectful of others
3. Listen with the intent to understand
4. Speak your own truth
We expect to experience discomfort when talking about hard things. Remain engaged and recognize that the discomfort can lead to problem-solving and authentic understanding.
