America Talks: Creating Connection in the Midst of Deep Division

In April 2022, thousands of Americans will converse face-to-face on video with those who have different backgrounds and beliefs. 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 kicking off the annual National Week of Conversation (NWOC), which provides additional opportunities for Americans to connect across differences and find a way forward together.
