“Political violence threatens the very foundation of our society,” said John Gable, CEO of AllSides. “We forget that there are things each of us can do to address political violence — on social media, in our communities and schools, with our friends, as part of organizations, and in our daily lives. This event will allow us to remember together.”
“Fair-minded journalism has the power to convene, to inform, and to inspire collective action. Through this partnership with AllSides, Newsweek is helping create a national forum where Americans can come together to confront the forces that threaten our civic life — and move from awareness to understanding, and from understanding to solutions,” said Jennifer Cunningham, Editor in Chief of Newsweek.
Attendees will be matched into diverse conversation groups and guided through proven discussion prompts, ensuring that every voice is heard. By participating, Americans can take an active role in pushing back against toxic polarization and demonstrating that dialogue is stronger than division.
Members of the press are invited to observe the event live. For more information on this, please contact press@allsides.com
The event comes at a crucial time, as violent incidents targeting public figures, institutions, and communities continue to rise nationwide. By creating space for respectful discussion, AllSides and Newsweek empower citizens to embody a better model of civic engagement.
