Today marks the start of What We Can Do Week 2026—a series of conversations focused on a simple but important question: What can each of us do to bridge divides, build trust, and strengthen our communities?

What We Can Do Week(s) was created in response to growing polarization and political violence, and from a belief that Minnesotans want something better. We believe disagreement doesn't have to lead to division, and that stronger relationships, healthier dialogue, and civic courage can help us move forward together.

🎙 Monday, Noon
Al Travis Thielfoldt and Alex Sapp discuss bringing people together over the airwaves. (Al Travis Show)

📊 Thursday, Noon

Political polarization didn't happen overnight, and it won't be solved overnight. But understanding its roots is an important place to start.

Join political violence expert Nathan Stock for a timely conversation on the forces driving polarization in America, the rise of political violence, and what each of us can do to help rebuild trust across divides.

Drawing on research, history, and practical solutions, Nathan will explore how changes in American life, our natural tendency toward group identity, and today's political environment have contributed to division and offer a framework for healing at the individual, community, and national levels.

As part of What We Can Do Week(s), this conversation will focus on how we can move from understanding the problem to becoming part of the solution.

What if one of the most important skills for reducing division is something that can be learned?

Conflict is a natural part of life, but how we navigate it can determine whether it drives us apart or brings us closer to understanding.

Join Tobin Lay, Executive Director of the Mediation Center, for a conversation on the art and science of mediation. You'll learn practical approaches for handling disagreements, building trust, and navigating disputes in your workplace, community, and everyday life.

As part of What We Can Do Week(s), this session will explore how mediation skills can help us bridge divides and strengthen relationships across differences.
