Please
come prepared to share. WE seeks what
unites us, how to change our perceptions to heal families, friendships, and
country of incivility and villainization by practicing greater compassion, by
seeing past egos to souls. April will read from WE, share stories of being a bridge, and invite audience
participation with short (2-minute) personal stories of positive interactions with people you know or met: fellow shoppers,
travelers, service providers, neighbors, etc., whose politics may differ from
yours, but with whom you shared a moment of mutual humanity.
