Give your word.

We’re starting a new conversation.

1. No matter how strong my opinion, I express it respectfully.
2. I share information that is verifiably true.
3. I criticize respectfully.
4. I listen genuinely.
5. I talk about what is already right about the topic.
6. I take action where I can.
7. I talk about the specific problem and do not generalize. 
8. I speak about issues and don’t denigrate people or groups.

Let’s be honest.

Nasty comments won’t change an opinion.

They only make us feel smug  and connected to people who agree with us.

They don’t solve.    

Give your word. Commit to a new conversation.
