Are you ready for Thanksgiving? All the feasting, family and political talk? Join us to learn how to bring the Crossing Party Lines experience to your dinner table. We will:

Explore ways you can keep your conversations civil and respectful.
Work through a Turkey and Politics Cheat Sheet
Discuss random topics (whatever members choose) with a partner so you will be better prepared for talking politics with relatives who may hold views that are very different from your own.

IMPORTANT: Before the workshop, please download and print the workshop handouts. Have the printouts and a pencil or pen handy at the workshop. We'll be using the documents and making notes during our workshop exercises.

ABOUT CPL Workshops

Get the training you need to effectively cross party lines.
Crossing Party Lines provides a series of FREE classes teaching the skills we use to talk across differences. We teach proven, science-based techniques to foster curiosity, invite listening, and connect across differences.
We designed these techniques based on recent discoveries in such fields as cognitive science, neurobiology, and evolutionary psychology. Because understanding the partisan brain is central to the work of Crossing Party Lines, our workshops cover both the skills and some of the basic science behind them.

Join the Crossing Party Lines discussion and have a voice in our Nation’s Conversation! People of all views are welcomed, appreciated, and heard.

Please do your best to arrive at the beginning of the meeting – once we are in breakout rooms and the conversations have started, the meeting doors close to new arrivals. The breakout rooms open (and the doors close) approximately 15 minutes after the hour.
