SUMMARY:Race and Reckoning: Democracy in the Balance
DESCRIPTION:The United States emerged from World War I as the most dominant democracy ever—a model for aspiring democracies worldwide. Yet today that democracy seems increasingly fragile—as America struggles with divisions of race\, ethnicity\, and class; as the very exceptionalism that symbolized our freedom threatens to undermine our most noble aspirations; and as young people wonder whether they will have a democracy left to celebrate. \nJoin Public Kinship innovator Dr. Bobby Austin and best-selling author Ellis Cose for a conversation and Q&A about the most pressing issues facing American democracy and how civic education and civility can create a better future.

SUMMARY:Deliberations.US: The Electoral College
DESCRIPTION:Deliberations.US is designed to decrease toxic polarization and increase civil discourse\, fostering common understanding across a wide range of people through fact-based\, inclusive and nonpartisan civil online deliberation events. Deliberations.US presents participants with short\, engaging videos and briefing materials on complicated social and political issues. Then\, via a video discussion platform designed to facilitate small group deliberation\, we track the attitudes of participants as they discuss those issues. While each group is a cultivated mix of 8-12 people\, the platform can accommodate an unlimited number of groups simultaneously.\nTo ensure that we remain nonpartisan and effectively illustrate all sides of every relevant issue\, all platform media and materials are thoughtfully curated by a carefully assembled panel of notable professors and professionals in the democracy and deliberation fields with topic specific expertise. The result is an experience that will change how participants view each other and their own ability to have thoughtful and productive conversations on important issues facing their communities. Our technology leverages the comfort of Zoom-like platforms\, enabling participation easily and safely from home\, work\, or a school campus and can also be applied to in-person settings. Our data shows that deliberation not only produces more informed\, empathetic\, and optimistic citizens\, it also demonstrates that\, when given the facts\, the best arguments from all sides\, and the opportunity to speak with a diverse group of peers\, Americans can find common ground and respect for differing opinions on an otherwise divisive issue.\nWe are currently hosting deliberations discussing The Electoral College. We have successfully deliberated this topic amongst students middle-school aged through professional graduate school students.

SUMMARY:The Unify Challenge
DESCRIPTION:What is the Unify Challenge? \nIt’s a guided video conversation that you’ll take with another American who may vote differently than you or be different than you in other ways. It’s a small but powerful way for everyday people to heal our national divide. \nConsider this your official invitation to step out of your “bubble.” We the People can lead the way. \nThe process: \n1. Tell us about yourself. \nThis part’s easy! Just answer a few basic questions so we can match you with the perfect partner. Your match may vote differently than you do or be someone you’d never get the chance to meet in your daily life. \n2. What you’ll need: \nYou’ll need a computer with a camera and microphone. (The Challenge DOES NOT work on your phone or a tablet.) \nGive yourself about an hour. Some partners chat longer because they get into it. Totally up to you! \nAnd you’ll need an open mind. It’s OK to disagree. In fact\, it’s great to disagree. \n3. Take the challenge and have a conversation. \nYou may be thinking… “A video conversation with a complete stranger? What will we talk about?” Don’t worry. We make it super easy. It’s a guided survey that you take together about goals for the country around issues like healthcare\, immigration\, the economy\, education\, criminal justice\, and more. You don’t have to be “into politics” — no prep needed!

SUMMARY:Navigating Narratives: Starting Thoughtful Conversations on Israel-Palestine
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, students will engage in a two-part interactive workshop about the Israel-Hamas War. The event will equip students with the tools necessary to have civil and informed conversations about the Israel-Palestine conflict through two breakout room activities: (1) an activity helping students recognize bias and misinformation on social media\, and (2) an activity helping students thoughtfully express their viewpoints on the war and listen to the ideas of their peers. \nThe session will be hosted by the Education Department at the Institute for Youth in Policy (YIP)\, which develops student-created\, non-partisan\, and discourse-based civics education resources seeking to combat today’s polarization crisis. The specific activities in this workshop were developed by two high school students of Jewish and Muslim backgrounds who sought to start thoughtful dialogues and build understanding among their peers on this challenging topic. The event will also be supported by fellow CivXNow Coalition member organization Essential Partners\, which will be providing the reflection worksheet used in the second activity.
