This experience was life changing. If people can move past apartheid and establish a sustainable, inclusive democracy, anything is possible.
This afternoon, a bipartisan group of legislators heard from two leaders who played critical roles in ending apartheid in South Africa 30 years ago. They spoke about how the lessons they learned can help the U.S. move beyond toxic political polarization. 1/4
In describing the greatest threats to democracy, @DrNelms responded that the greatest threat is that "our youth our entering a world that we don't recognize," because it's being influenced by polarization. #MelioraWeekend
The panelists focused on threats to democracy, especially grow polarization and how communities can have meaningful two-way conversation
Jillian Youngblood of @civicgenius described the challenges involved in participating in political discussion: "'I have some nuanced thoughts that I would like discuss in a small group before I stand up and yell about them.' These people don't tend to participate."
