Depolarizing Congregations and Communities During the Election Season and Beyond

Divisiveness isn’t new, but it feels bigger and more pervasive than ever, with no signs of slowing down.

Our families, communities, congregations, and our country are strained by the intense polarization that limits our ability to move towards real solutions together. This webinar will focus on tools and strategies that anyone can use to foster civility, appreciate difference, and find common ground without compromising our core values. If we truly believe that all humans have value and that everyone can be part of the solution, we need to operate in ways that align with those beliefs and amplify the best of what is possible. Join us to build resiliency in our relationships, our organizations, and our communities in the midst of the election season and beyond.

Rachel Peller is the Director of Wisconsin Partners, a coalition of statewide associations and community-based groups collaborating across sectors, perspectives, and communities for a better Wisconsin. Wisconsin Partners uses a relational, asset-based approach to identify common ground and address root causes. Rachel has an advanced certificate in Conflict Resolution and has worked with Braver Angels, the Zeidler Center, Tallahassee Town Square, and Living Room Conversations on bridging divides. Like many, she comes from a highly polarized family and lives in a purple part of the state - this work is hard, heartfelt, and highly personal.
