A Call to Fierce Love and Civility in Food Systems and Beyond

Political polarization and culture wars seem to dominate the headlines these days. While there are questions about how widespread this may actually be in food and other systems, media (and social media) can drive behavior in such a way that people stop questioning their assumptions or engaging with others who have different views. This is where things can get dangerous – people lose the “middle ground” where they can actually meet, negotiate and be collectively creative. In this session participants will interact with our special guests and one another to explore practices of “fierce love and civility” across differences and how these might help create the better world that is needed and possible.

Guests include:

• Amri Johnson of Inclusion Wins, DEI strategist and author of Reconstructing Inclusion
• Joe Weston of The Weston Network, international trainer, peace activist and author of Fierce Civility
