RRC Speaker Series: Toxic Polarization

Join the Racial Reconciliation Collaborative on Thursday June 8th at 7pm as we host, Andrew Hanauer, President & CEO  of One America Movement for a conversation about Toxic Polarization.

In confronting polarization, it’s time to think bigger.

The solution to toxic polarization isn’t a training or a program. It’s bigger.

For the past five years, our dedicated staff has worked in an atmosphere of threat and fear. With each passing day, toxic polarization seemed to get worse and worse, poisoning every facet of society, from corporate boardrooms to church small groups to family Thanksgiving tables. 

But from the beginning, we’ve held the view that while the stakes are high, toxic polarization contains the seeds of its demise. Human beings are not built for perpetual outrage. In the depths of our souls, we do not long to “own” the other side. At some point, people will begin to look for a different way. 

In many ways, that’s where we come in. Our work is about supporting faith communities and faith leaders to lead their communities on that higher path – away from toxic division and towards acting in ways that can be inspiring models for every American, religious or not.

The Solution to toxic polarization isn’t a program or a training. It’s connection and leadership.

Join the discussion on Thursday June 8th at 7pm. The RRC will host this program at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in the Great Hall and also on Zoom.
