@ProfRobinWilson's #CanopyForum piece argues: "The ability to gather as people of faith is our first freedom. But as with other freedoms now cabined in the name of public safety, religious freedom must take a backseat, at least for now." Read more here: canopyforum.org/2020/03/21/def…

Finding common ground changes minds and hearts. Utah, the “conservative, heavily Mormon” state, which enacted landmark LGBT nondiscrimination laws in 2015, is “second only to New Hampshire” in its support for legal protections for the full LGBT community.

@jon_rauch & @Peter_Wehner write in the NYT:“But when the politics of compromise is in good working order, it builds new alliances, develops new solutions, & turns conflict into cooperation.” More on how we can build tolerance & breakdown polarization here:nytimes.com/2020/06/22/opi…
