\r\n\t\tChoose Your Lift Level\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\t

What do you have capacity for today? Whether it’s a light lift, or something a little heavier, taking a step is what counts.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 minutes\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 hour\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 week\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t5 minutes\r\n

Move Around to Avoid Tribal War<\/h3>

Read this article<\/a> about how a radical policy implemented decades ago in Botswana aimed to reduce the odds of ethnic tribal warfare in the nation. It worked. Read, learn, and reflect on what this could look like in the U.S.<\/p>\r\n

Read The Article<\/a>

The Science Behind It<\/h4>Today in the U.S., red and blue Americans are physically segregating – in terms of reds going rural and blues going urban, but also, within individual cities, reds and blues are moving away from each other and into their own tribal neighborhoods. This, unfortunately, is a recipe for political violence.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t1 hour\r\n

Cook Together<\/h3>

Read this article on building relationships by cooking together<\/a>, and try it with someone from the other team.<\/p>\r\n

Read The Artcile<\/a>

The Science Behind It<\/h4>Some of my more enlightened mediator and peacemaker colleagues swear by the power of cooking and eating together to break down walls and get disputants more in sync. One bakes and brings fresh hot bread to his group encounter sessions. Another asks disputants to cook with her and sit down to eat before they discuss their differences. A third, a pastor in Watertown, NY, invites red and blue partisans to a weekly Monday breakfast where they eat and talk politics. The trick to his success, he claims, is that the food is so good that people keep coming back and talking – until they realize what they don’t understand about the issues under discussion. Ideally, to build on the power of synchrony, cooking together before feasting is ideal. Sl\u00e1inte!<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t1 week\r\n

Live With Someone From Another Political Neighborhood<\/h3>

Either sign up with an organization like the American Exchange Project<\/a> or Share Our America<\/a> – both of which offer exchange programs for red and blue Americans – and offer to host one of the participants in your home, or arrange to stay with a friend from a different politically affiliated area during vacation.<\/p>\r\n

The Science Behind It<\/h4>

Some of the most hopeful responses to our current political crisis in the U.S. have been the increase in exchange programs, which organize and supervise inter-partisan citizens’ exchanges – many of them with young people. This more immersive contact between members of different groups (participants and host families) presents a considerable opportunity to get more in sync with someone from the other side.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\"icon-reflection\"\r\n

\r\n\t\tDaily Reflection\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\t

End the day by taking a few notes on regularly integrating movement into your community engagement.<\/p>\r\n
