Speaker Series: Justin Giboney: AND Campaign
How to Survive an Election Year
America is bracing for an election year and our society is as polarized as ever. Is anything safe to talk about? Will I lose friends? Will I be ostracized by family members? Can I just sit this one out? Explore what it looks like to engage in politics with both compassion and conviction and learn why we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines. Justin Giboney, attorney, author of Compassion and Conviction and co-founder of the AND Campaign will discuss our calling to participate in politics and will share how we can do it well.
