The Bristol Social Justice Discussion Group is hosting Vermont Public in January for a conversation about how to bridge the political divide. This free event is based on the principles of StoryCorps’ One Small Step, a program that brings people with different views together to record a conversation — not to debate politics — but simply to get to know each other. The initiative helps combat the polarizing effects of news and social media by talking to each other one-on-one again, approaching each other with curiosity, allowing us to remember that we all have more in common than we think.

 Join us for this free event! We’ll start the evening with pizza, then learn skills for conversations that seek common ground and elevate the humanity in one another.  Following the training we will pair up attendees for short conversations to practice what you’ve learned. We hope you will walk away with the skills to have more productive conversations.

Where: Bristol Fire Department - West St, Bristol, VT 05443 (Parking is limited. Walk, bike or car pool if you can. Parking is on Fire House Drive, or across West Street at the Recreation Park or High School)
