We discuss "calling in" as a practice rooted in a human rights framework that can transform how we engage across our divide and potentially be the bridge that helps our democracy survive.
Loretta’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:
Do an integrity audit: pause and self assess before responding
Always focus on the good part of people
