Join a Community Conversation on Peacebuilding in the U.S. Santa Cruz Public Libraries (SCPL), Resource Center for Nonviolence (RCNV), and the Conflict Resolution Center (CRC) are co-hosting Community Conversations to help depolarize our county one conversation at a time. Is there someone in your family or friend circle whose political views differ from yours? Invite them to join you for a structured and moderated small group dialogue on Peacebuilding in the United States using the nationally recognized "Living Room Conversations" model to cultivate community and mutual understanding.
