America feels like a couple on the verge of divorce & if we're going to save this country, we need to learn to talk to each other again. The Hope, Not Fear Project is showing us how to have tough, uncomfortable conversations with people we disagree with. And we started in Ohio.

Every 2wks, I’m going somewhere in this country & putting people who disagree in a room. Not to fight or debate. To have a conversation. Honest, difficult, respectful. Not to hold hands or find common ground. But to lesson the hate and learn how to REALLY listen. @HNFProject.👇
