& Update from Let's Talk America


Dear Friends,
Let's Talk America cosponsored a groundbreaking national conversation at the Fetzer Institute where over two dozen leaders from radically different political origins spent a weekend talking about their differences and their common ground.

Two years ago the newly formed Utne Institute and three other organizational partners launched the Let's Talk America project. It was a radical idea, to offer a space and process for people from different points on the political spectrum to have meaningful conversation. The inaugural ads in Utne Magazine that attracted many invited you to join in an effort to bring people in your own neighborhoods together across political lines during the runup to the contentious 2004 election.
Thousands participated in hundreds of conversations in living rooms, libraries and coffee shops across the country during that first year. And dozens of hosts went through a training course that helped them convene diverse groups more effectively. Talks Build Unity &
Common Ground !

More to come...
