Living Room Conversations Building a better world one conversation at a time. https://linktr.ee/livingroomconvo Belonging starts with conversation.

Living Room Conversations are a conversational bridge across issues that divide and separate us. They provide an easy structure for engaging in friendly yet meaningful conversation with those with whom we may not agree. These conversations increase understanding, reveal common ground, and sometimes even allow us to discuss possible solutions. No fancy event or skilled facilitator is needed.

Tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Recently, Ed Sheeran has come under fire for not standing with Macklemore after the rapper publicly supported Palestine at a concert. Sheeran has said that he wants his music to be for everybody and doesn't want to alienate fans of one political ideology or another.

Many fans have been upset by this, boycotting the pop artist, pulling out of his concert series, and "canceling him" online.

What are your thoughts? What's the difference between "canceling someone" and "holding that person accountable"? (as per our Cancel Culture" guide)

We all get judged because of our appearance. But how do we move beyond that?

The Living Room Conversations model has helped thousands of people set aside their political judgements and allow for others to freely express themselves.

It seems like everyone today is trying to tell you how to think. Not us.

Living Room Conversations isn't about a specific ideology or political agenda. We aren't trying to make people compromise their values or change their mind. What we are doing is bringing people together as people. Listening, understanding, respect, that's our only agenda.

Our team is made up of people all across the political spectrum. Our communities range from rural towns in red states to ivy league colleges in blue states. No matter your background or politics, come talk with us.

Living Room Conversations is for everybody.

New title, same work: I'm now Deputy Executive Director at Living Room Conversations.

Everything I do comes down to one thing: helping people see each other more clearly. Because most of what divides us is a blur: assumptions, headlines, the version of a person we built in our heads before we ever met them.

Dialogue is the corrective lens. You sit down, you actually talk, and the blur resolves into a human being. It happens almost every time, and it still gets me every time.

Grateful to this team and to every person who's pulled up a chair. There's a lot more to build.

Is your brain forcing you to be polarized?

The more we surround ourselves with like-minded people, the more any diversity in perspective can seem threatening. That's why we focus on building relationships across differences.

As I get ready to teach another series of workshops at Yale University, I've been reflecting on my time there last year.

During this interview at the university (albeit right after I started getting my voice back after having lost it), I was asked what surprises me most about this work. It's how fast strangers stop being strangers.

The story we keep getting told is that this country is hopelessly divided and everyone's out for themselves. I get reminded, week after week, that this isn't true for most people.

That's what keeps me going.

Have you seen Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey? What did you think?

One thing that we loved was the idea of *Zeus' Law*, that you should treat everyone with respect regardless of who they are. That's CENTRAL to peacebuilding and conflict resolution



Thanks to our friends National Conflict Resolution Center and Marc Meyer for collaborating with us!
