Building Community - Strengthening Democracy

Watch “Two Bald Guys” Friday at noon when we will be joined by Erica Turner and Heidi Wheeler, leaders of “Bridge the Divide”, a grassroots organization that provides a forum for discussion and action around racial divides. Turner and Wheeler co-host a weekly podcast and write thought-provoking pieces to challenge our preconceived ideas, forge community relationships, and actively diversify society to effect change. To learn more about Bridge the Divide, visit www.bridgethedivide.life.

Topics to be covered:

• How do we create safe spaces for challenging conversations on in our community?

• What practical steps can communities take to meaningfully address issues of diversity, equity and inclusion?

• How do we sustain momentum towards meaningful change in terms of racial repair, reconstruction and reconciliation in our state and in our communities?
