(I want to make it safe for myself and others to be heard)
Can we trust each other?
It’s a valid question! We The People can create Civics 2.0 only if we build trust. To grow trust, starts with making a commitment.
The simple act of talking about ground rules helps us to build strong trust with one another. These 7 ground rules have emerged as a starting place to talk. From this foundation WE can build both brave and safe exploratory discussions – as we Fight To Understand more and more difficult issues. Thus, the ground rules are forever under construction.
It is absolutely NOT IMPORTANT that you commit to being perfect about the ground rules. It is also not important to sign a form. It IS IMPORTANT that you have an inner desire to learn how to Fight-To-Understand them as a goal.
The final piece of safety that we’ll suggest, is the Circle Model. In the Circle Model, you will see where Liberals and Conservatives collaborate in “the sweet spot / the purple zone,” the many traits we have in common, and how WE need guardrails keep us from crossing-the-line.
WE ALSO PROMISE:
It’s free!
Fighting To Understand is a 501(c)(3) Corporation on a mission to make seemingly complicated topics into “simply complicated.” We do this by forming a collaborative cross-section of “regular” people to fight to understand a topic, in as much complexity as we can muster. We then present the findings to other regular people. Our maiden voyage: Is America Broken?
