Tips for Difficult Conversations

Everyday Democracy supports organizing across the country by bringing diverse groups of people together, helping them structure and facilitate community dialogue on pressing issues, and training them to use a racial equity lens to understand longstanding problems and possible solutions. Their function is unique and unparalleled in the community engagement field: helping people create the spaces where they can build skills to bring difficult topics to light and address them effectively over the long term. We were so excited to collaborate with Everyday Democracy to create, "5 Ways Forward: Navigating Difficult Conversations" to help communities across the country move conversation into action, and action into lasting positive change. www.saltproject.org www.everyday-democracy.org

SALT recently teamed up with the amazing team at Everyday Democracy to create this sweet, powerful little short film on how to have difficult conversations. And what better time to see it (and share it!) than the week when a new president and vice president are inaugurated in this deeply divided — and yet still deeply, doggedly hopeful — country we call home.

Lots of difficult conversations ahead… So let’s get to work!

Check out the film here: “Five Ways Forward: Navigating Difficult Conversations.”
