Courageous citizenship is a practice. We aim to support Georgians in practicing courageous citizenship across political differences through skill-building, convening, collaborative action, and most importantly, relationship-building.

Saturday, October 24th - 10:00 am -12:30 pm- In-person: Depolarizing from Within. A free workshop to help you become more aware of your "inner polarizer" and deep-dive practice using methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule, and constructively intervening in polarizing social conversations with like-minded people.

Sunday, October 25th - 1:00-2:30 pm - In-person Braver Faith: Depolarizing Ourselves. A free in-person session to become more aware of your "inner polarizer" and to learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule. For people of faith, civil discourse begins in recognizing the image of God in our conversation partner. Respect, not agreement, is essential to a healthy discussion. This workshop addresses how we may inadvertently be complicit in, or possibly even encourage, polarization. Hosted by Central Congregational UCC, Clairmont Rd., Atlanta, GA. Registration Link.

Discover the work of over 10,000 individuals and organizations actively trying to unite a divided United States. Link to purchase tickets (includes 48-hour recording rental). Watch on your own and share your thoughts at the Monthly Luncheon.
