Our United States are being torn apart
by disinformation designed to divide us.
We need to talk to each other .
We believe that the amplified voices of extremism are a danger to us all. We, our friends and our famililies are being manipulated by messages of fear and false promises. In our highly polarized media, those messages are continuously reinforced. No amount of published facts or arguments from "the other side" will reach through those bubbles. The most effective way to break through that barrier may be one-to-one conversation with someone they know and who understands their life, burdens, joys, goals and aspirations.
Enable those who understand the serious consequences of our divisions to engage those who don't by finding the facts and exposing the lies through one-to-one dialog. Start personal conversations with our friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and everyone we know.
Our conversations should never berate or belittle anyone. It's not that you're right and they're wrong. It's about helping each other to see what we may have missed and exposing the lies that are driving us apart and weakening our society. Be empathetic, understand each other's motivations and follow these guidelines for good conversation.
