Arlie Hochschild and Joan Blades will be speaking about their adventures with friends who have very different political views and opportunities to reweave the fabric of our democracy through loving our neighbors. Arlie Hochschild’s book Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right has been nominated for a National Book Award. Joan Blades, co-founder of MoveOn, MomsRising, and LivingRoomConversations will share how you too might enjoy a Living Room Conversation and become friends with people you don’t agree with.
