Ben Franklin Circles is a bold initiative that brings people together to ask two questions: how can we improve ourselves? How can we improve our world?

So great to be connected with @SOPHIAchirp and their mission to spread philosophical conversations. We think Franklin would definitely approve!
Just now, @EricTWeber had a lovely conversation with @jmashack of the @BFCircles on the exciting potential for collaborations between our orgs!
Thanks to @SedonaAndrea and @SedonaPhilExp for connecting us!

We're big fans of @LivingRoomConvo @VillageSquareUS @BetterAngelsUSA who are showing how you successfully bring people together across divides. Next step: get the media to focus on the success stories and not only the division and isolation! #democracychat
Q2. When it comes to #bridgingdivides, what’s a success story you’d love to see shared more widely? #DemocracyChat
Great point @debilynm! Bring more social opportunities for people to sit down together outside and get to know one another. Maybe Congress could host some #BenFranklinCirlces to #bridgedivides? #democracychat
Put yourself in the shoes of your Congressional representative. What would you do to help unite the country? I would host dinners with a bipartisan group of colleagues and get to know them. I'd buy girl scout cookies from their kids and grandkids.

Q4. Individuals can learn to #bridgedivides by listening better! #DemocracyChat @BrdgAllianceUS
