League of Women Voters/National Institute for Civil Discourse (LWV/NICD) Network News - Latest edition

LWV/NICD Network Mission Statement: 
​The mission of the Civil Discourse Network is to promote and encourage “Urgent Positive Civic Engagement.”  We provide our network members with a home space for collaboration, support, and resource sharing which helps members to take positive actions in their communities and in their personal lives. Sharing ideas, resources, experiences and feedback will help each of us better our own efforts in our own lives to promote civil dialogue, reduce the spread of disinformation and build trust within our democracy. 
NICD = National Institute for Civil Discourse

​LWV/NICD has compiled this helpful list of organizations working to enhance dialog across political divides. 

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), Equal Justice, and Civil Discourse 

The League of Women Voters at all levels views its work through a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Lens. In addition, LWV Palo Alto has declared Racial Justice a priority. In this context, we offer a set of Racial Justice resource lists with links to materials in a wide variety of media, as well as links to other organizations with more resources. New addition: Encouraging parents to discuss racism

Book recommendation: Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho. It's written as a personal, accessible, yet very informative conversation with the reader.

The purpose of the League is to Make Democracy Work®.  We:

  • Register and educate voters through our work in VOTER SERVICES
  • Take Action based on our positions through ADVOCACY
  • Inform and educate the community on issues by League PROGRAMS
