In 2017, @LeaderMcConnell praised his late-colleague Senator Wendell Ford as one of #Kentucky's most distinguished and enduring public servants. Daviess County is home to the @WendellFordGEC that carries on Sen. Ford's legacy. #Bluegrass1290

We are in a moment that calls people of good will forward, to engage with dignity and respect across our differences, as a counter to the virus of hate and fear that lives within some. May the Golden Rule help guide us to see the humanity in others now. #GoldenRule2020

[Natl Inst Civil Disc @NICDInstitute]

Through the pain we’ve experienced as a country, let us grow stronger together, united in our resolve to continue to seek a more perfect union. Blessed are the peacemakers and bridgebuilders among we the people. #GoldenRule2020. https://t.co/XkCMXISCXT

[Natl Inst Civil Disc @NICDInstitute]

May the wisdom, peaceful and respectful spirit of most everyday Americans and love of our country prevail today. Together, may we repair and heal our divisions and may we practice the Golden Rule within our spheres of influence now. #GoldenRule2020. https://t.co/XkCMXISCXT

Four practices for keeping conversations civil from the @NICDInstitute's Executive Director @KeithGAllred. Whether it's in-person, online, or otherwise, it's important to recognize the importance of civility--today and always.

[Natl Inst Civil Disc @NICDInstitute]

At NICD we encourage civil discourse so you are able to address shared issues and concerns while engaging those differences with others constructively--even when you deeply disagree.

So what are some simple steps to take? NICD's @KeithGAllred offers these suggestions.
