In April 2022, thousands of Americans matched with those, who have different backgrounds and beliefs from all corners of the country, will converse face-to-face on video. Each conversation will provide a repairing stitch to America’s frayed social fabric, as participants shift perspective from “us versus them” to “you and me.”
Millions more Americans will be inspired by these conversations, which will be amplified via news media, social media, an influencer campaign and a live streaming event. America Talks will again serve as the headline event kick off the National Week of Conversation (NWOC), which provides additional opportunities for Americans to connect across differences, turn down the heat and find a way forward together. You can learn more and register for the event at: ::https://americatalks.us::
America Talks is led by AllSides, Civic Health Project, Listen First Project and YOUnify and powered by over 150 organizational partners.
Media partners and Corporate sponsors include USA Today, USA Today Network, Walmart, Google, News Initiative and Twitter
