Doors open at 6:00 pm and program begins promptly at 6:30 pm EDT.
You must RSVP to attend. Location will be shared upon registration.
Your support of Israel and Cincinnati’s Jewish community during this past year has been crucial. Please submit photos of these efforts by Friday, September 27.

This is a free Braver Angels workshop that teaches skills for communication across the political divide. In this polarized time, we lack basic understanding of why people on the other political side hold their beliefs. We don’t see them as they see themselves–their core values and central concerns–but instead as we choose to see them. We are tempted to regard our own side as principled and the other side as self-interested. And when we try to communicate across this gap, we often lack the skills for listening carefully, looking for common ground, and sharing our perspectives in ways that connect rather than create more misunderstanding. We can learn to disagree better in polarized times, which means accurately seeing where we differ and where we share common ground.
Goals of the workshop:
A Cincinnati native, Shannon Hughes is a two-time graduate of Xavier University, earning her BA in English and her MA in Urban Sustainability and Resilience. Shannon joins the Ignite Peace team bringing 18 years of experience in education and advocacy work. From a high school classroom in the Marshall Islands, to the halls of Congress as the manager of the Education Program of Network, the Catholic Social Justice Lobby, and back to the Dorothy Day Center for Faith and Justice at her alma mater, Shannon has worked to deepen our understanding of and commitment to the pursuit of justice in our campus, local, and global communities.
Shannon’s first day will be later this month and Ignite Peace will be hosting a meet and greet on Wednesday, September 18th (details coming soon).
