We have not yet thought of all the ways we could help local communities heal from political polarization, so our disagreements can be the gifts they are meant to be. Come hear from two distinctly different community-building approaches (one in Hillsboro, and another in Sisters, Oregon), and consider how their experiences could inspire active, justice-building civility in your own community.

Join us for the George Fox Civility Project’s “Building Healthy Political Civility in Local Communities: Two Oregon Models,” taking place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. tonight (Monday) in Hoover 105.

Contact Ron Mock at civility@georgefox.edu for more information.
