Bridging Towards a Just, Inclusive, Pluralistic, Democracy with john a. powell, Julia Roig, and Míriam Juan-Torres

How can bridge-builders support one another and the communities with which they engage to show up to the table consistently and fully as we work toward a just, inclusive, pluralistic democracy? What does it mean to model pluralism in a way that centers our common humanity, fairness, and justice? U.S. bridge-builders, organizers, and activists are not alone as they seek to address these challenging questions. With the global rise of exclusionary, autocratic extremism, there’s a lot we can learn from fellow practitioners around the world, and there’s a lot we can gain from global solidarity.

Join The Horizons Project and Othering & Belonging Institute for a deep dive dialogue as we explore these key questions and learnings from U.S. and global practitioners as part of the 2023 National Week of Conversation. Speakers will include:

  • john a. powell, Director, Othering & Belonging Institute

  • Míriam Juan-Torres González, Head of Research, Democracy & Belonging Forum, Othering & Belonging Institute; Senior Advisor, More in Common

  • Julia Roig, Chief Network Weaver, Horizons Project (moderator)
