WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? EP OFFERING 4 WEEKS OF POST-ELECTION SUPPORT
The election is finally here. Years of campaigning, media coverage, social media shares, and protests have culminated in this one event.
Now we all turn to the pressing question: what happens next?
During this time of extreme polarization, fear of an uncertain future, and a general reticence to speak with people about what matters most, many dialogue organizations are bringing folks together for post-election conversations.
But we think there is a lot of work to be done—on a personal level, in our trusted circles, and in our larger networks—before our communities are healthy enough to come together again for that kind of dialogue.
Essential Partners will spend the next four weeks doing what we do best—empowering you to repair the fabric of your community, piece by piece. In one email each week over the next four weeks, we will draw on 30 years of experience to offer guidance and resources in support of this crucial work. Click here to sign up to the EP email newsletter list. Here’s what we have planned.
Week 1: Your Best Political Self
We’ll begin with ourselves, taking some much-needed time and space to reflect on what matters most to us and who we want to be.
In this first week, we’ll share a tool to help you think about the stories that inform your political values, the people who influenced you, and the places where you grew into yourself.
We want to help you become curious about who your best political self is—and how that connects to what you decide to do now that the election season is over.
