** Dialogue Across Difference
------------------------------------------------------------
Fall 2024 Issue
[link removed]

In this polarized political environment, we must not lose sight of the humanity of the people around us. Dialogue creates opportunities to reach across differences and to engage with and understand one another, without losing the integrity of our work for equity and justice.

This issue ([link removed]) explores why dialogue is crucial for a thriving democracy, addresses critical issues facing our communities in the South and our nation, and encourages us to reach across our differences for the common good.
