WeListen at the University of Michigan

Abstract

WeListen is a grassroots, campus-based organization bridging the American political divide. We’re bringing together small groups of people with divergent political views — liberals and conservatives — to help them learn what others value and believe. Our aim is to build a movement of listeners across the country willing to change the American political climate. WeListen's goal is to spark political conversation between students on campus, both liberal AND conservative. We facilitate small-group conversations (not debates!) between people with divergent political viewpoints.
