Civil Discourse
Funding civil discourse in America is vital for fostering a healthier and more inclusive democracy, mitigating polarization, and addressing the challenges associated with misinformation and erosion of trust in democracy, media and institutions
Concerns have been raised about the power of social media platforms to influence public discourse and potentially limit certain voices. Questions about content moderation policies and the impact on diverse perspectives have been part of these discussions.
Remember that promoting civil discourse is an ongoing effort, and change often starts at the individual level. By engaging in respectful and open conversations, individuals can contribute to a more inclusive and understanding society. This issue had never been more important in America than in today’s climate.
While numerous organizations in the U.S. are dedicated to promoting civil discourse, dialogue, and constructive conversations, these organizations operate at various levels, including local, state, and national. Some focus on specific issues, while others have a broader mission to foster a culture of respectful and open communication.
Along with Intellectual Freedom, Civil discourse is a top priority for the Mike and Sofia Segal Foundation.
