Civility in America: Pella Community Conversation
Incivility in America has reached epidemic proportions
In far too many instances rudeness, disrespect and hostility sideline collaboration and compromise. Sound bites replace sound journalism; extremes on either end of the political spectrum upend political dialogue, with the public enraged at our leaders' inability to tackle our most pressing problems.
Join us for the Pella Civility Conversation
Individuals and groups within communities are coming together around the desire to change the tone of our democracy. From urban to rural communities, we’re seeing policy makers, schools & universities (faculty and students), civic groups, business leaders, faith based communities, media leaders and others joining in this call. People around the country and here in Iowa are coming together in a grassroots initiative to revive civility and respect.
We’re hosting civil community-wide conversations where citizens learn strategies to have civil conversations across differences. Through active listening, Americans can begin to better understand their fellow citizens’ perspectives and develop more tolerance toward those who think very differently than they do.
