2023 Global Conference

Town Hall: Healing a Divided America

Monday, May 1, 2023
04:00 PM - 05:00 PM PDT
Beverly Hilton - Sunset Pavilion

Our society and politics are clearly fragmented along party, social, racial, and economic lines. From election outcomes to pandemic responses to social justice movements to gun control—how can Americans build a greater sense of unity when it seems we’re confronted with one divisive issue after the next? This interactive Town Hall will contemplate how we can work toward bridging the partisan divides that most threaten our nation’s future. Leaders from both sides of the aisle will engage the audience in a reflection of how this country has bounced back from social rifts in the past and identify areas where Americans can find common ground.
