Civic Engagement + Dialogue = Violence Prevention

Each of the following reports consists of pre and post-dialogue survey responses, photos, and participants’ comments. Respondents typically report that the dialogue process is constructive. 

In the safe spaces that we create, our attendees engage openly, and they candidly relay diverse perspectives. Frequently, after showing up and participating in a single committed dialogue, the majority of participants- whether community members or law enforcement- report that they can see issues in a whole new light.
