Noon to 1 p.m. - Welcome and Keynote
Keynote: We Remember Friendship Across Politics: Overcoming the Great Partisan Divide
Our generation can lead the effort to bridge the partisan divide in our families,
communities and nation. We will explore the roots of divisive culture as a problem
we can solve by united action and how liberals, conservatives and others can join
together at the grassroots level to strengthen our democratic republic and end the
political rancor tearing us apart.
Chuck Stone is an ambassador for Braver Angels, the nation’s largest cross- partisan, volunteer movement working to bridge the partisan divide through civil political discourse. Stone is a retired attorney and a part-time faculty member at DePaul University.
