Join us for a lively and empowering conversation about why we see things so differently.
About this Event
Half the country believes America is headed in a dangerous direction — politically, culturally, and socially. The other half believes the country is doing well — that progress is happening, leadership is strong, and many fears are overstated.
So how can we be living in the same nation… and seeing such different realities?
It's because we are consuming different information. Different news. Different sources. Different narratives.
And often, different versions of what’s “true.” It’s almost like we’re living in two different Americas.
And yet, one thing is almost universal: Most Americans want the country to succeed.
We may disagree on what’s happening — and why — but most of us want safety, stability, fairness, and a better future, for ourselves, and for all Americans.

Join us Thursday, March 19, 2026, 7:00-9:00 PM PST, in-person in Santa Monica, CA, or online on Zoom, as we help make sense of our contrasting views and explore the threads of commonality that can weave a more unifying narrative.
THIS IS NOT A DEBATE
This is a guided dialogue designed to help people:
• Understand how others see what’s happening in America
• Hear what they fear, what they hope for, and what they believe is at stake
• Learn why reasonable people can interpret the same events so differently
• Practice real listening in a structured, respectful format
The goal is not to change anyone’s mind.
The goal is to understand each other.
