IN A SENTENCE
Create ONE conversation with ONE person for ONE hour in ONE of many cities during the week of July 13, using ideas from the book, Common Ground Without Compromise: 25 Questions to Create Dialogue on Abortion
THE BIG IDEA
Create real dialogue about abortion by using genuine common ground to help us discuss our disagreements.
GOAL #1
At least ONE meaningful dialogue between a pro-choice advocate and a pro-life advocate in EACH of the 50 UNITED STATES and 10 CANADIAN PROVINCES during the week of July 13-20. (If we get people from the TERRITORIES in Canada, all the better!)
GOAL #2
A TOTAL of 500 CONVERSATIONS between pro-LIFE and pro-CHOICE advocates throughout the United States and Canada during July 13-20.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS
NOTE: Dialogue can be initiated by a pro-life or a pro-choice advocate.
