America Talks with Pearce Godwin

00:00 / 00:42:56

Political Polarization is tearing America apart. Division and Extremism are on the rise. We know this. We talk about it pretty often. But, this weekend, we have an opportunity to do something about it. Hillari sits down with Pearce Goodwin, the CEO & Founder of #ListenFirst, to talk about Polarization, Common Ground, and America Talks. America Talks is a powerful conversation event that invites Americans to connect one-on-one, face-to-face on video across our political divides. By doing so, we remind ourselves that the “other” is – just like us – a person with family, friends, hopes, fears, values, beliefs, and intrinsic worth.
