We discuss "calling in" as a practice rooted in a human rights framework that can transform how we engage across our divide and potentially be the bridge that helps our democracy survive.
Loretta’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:
- Do an integrity audit: pause and self assess before responding
- Always focus on the good part of people
Loretta Ross is an activist and an associate professor at Smith College. Loretta has had a long career in the human rights movement and her new book is Calling In: How to Start Making Change with Those You’d Rather Cancel.
