"Months after the 2020 election, this country feels more divided than ever. Today’s youth have only ever experienced a fractured America, rife with ideological polarization that corrodes our ability to listen to and understand voices different from our own. Such division not only threatens democracy and political stability, but also our ability to help those in this country who need it most.“Speak Now,” a four-part speaker series from the Cornell Advocacy Project, will address this divide, exploring the role of empathy in rehabilitating hostile spaces.
