Description:

Let’s Keep Talking!

ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race) 

Bridging Divides: A Community Discussion for U.S. Voters with Differing Candidate Preferences. Our goal is to create a space where individuals with varying viewpoints can come together to discuss strategies for collaboration and finding common ground, even amidst differing presidential candidate preferences.

The notion of choosing "the lesser of two evils" is no longer a compelling motivator for many voters. How can we facilitate meaningful conversations among voters who share common concerns about various issues?

A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) is a public discussion series. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race, class and culture. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action!

On the last Sunday of each month, there is a new topic for discussion
