COMING SOON! Our film follows everyday heroes on the difficult journey of bridging divides. These deeply personal stories highlight that while our divisions run deeper than we ever imagined, so does the hope and love to bring us back together. #ReunitedStates

What we saw today was white supremacy acting out its grievances under the pretense of protest.

[Civic Health Project @civichealthproj]

This piece from @ListenFirstProj is incredibly relevant to where we stand as a nation. This will be even more important as we head into the days after the election and try to find common ground with those who voted for the other candidate and begin to help heal together.

[straight white guy listening @SWGListening]

In our follow-up with Dr. Kelsey Crowe, our first guest in the series, we discuss speaking to our common needs, rather than the things that divide us.

If we expand our circles of concern beyond our family, tribe, or religion, we can find where we overlap and become more interconnected.

"Disabled people...are always fighting for access to their lives and that isn't fair. If you give us access to our lives, you can play with us. And that is what's important."

Truth with no filters in this article. A lot to think about & face in ourselves. @itsandrewgurza says it all in this quote: “It’s really nice to be with somebody who wants to learn." Boy, isn’t that the truth about life in general?! https://t.co/0zOPRzuMX8

As a member of the clergy I try my damnest to listen to words, between the words & on the other side of the words. Sometimes what is not said is important. Thank you for this motivating episode.

[straight white guy listening @SWGListening]

@BdayStranger @SheriKBonner Thank you for sharing! It's not always easy to hear someone else's point of view, but patiently taking it in takes strength of character.

[straight white guy listening @SWGListening]

Ever feel like hate fills the headlines? One answer is to engage the young generation coming up now. We can learn from each other.

2nd season of @SWGListening's w/guest @GrahamBodie focuses well on listening.

To their "we need start new conversations that move us from 'us & them' to 'me & you'" I add a quote by Dogen, the father of Zen: A fool sees himself as another, but a wise man sees others as himself.

"Clergy live in the real world. And if they're listening & paying attention, they're connecting with their congregants... And sometimes abortion is the best decision for a woman." - Sheri Bonner, President and CEO, @PPFA Pasadena & San Gabriel Valley
