Peacebuilding in the United States

Join LRC's own Annie Caplan for a Living Room Conversation on Peacebuilding on Tuesday, September 23rd, 1pm MST, Boulder, CO Public Library.

Free Admission.

This increase in tribalism and ethnic protection (including Republican vs. Democrat as core identities), reflect core grievances at the heart of what drives violent conflict in many countries all over the world. How did we get here and what are the peacebuilding solutions for a country that has long been considered the world’s most stable democracy?
