Small Group Discussion: Find Out How We Have "More in Common"

About this event

Thursday, May 4th | 11:00am to 12:30pm

REGISTER HERE

Almost two-thirds of Americans describe themselves as either Democrats or Republicans, and with every passing year each side seems to dislike the other more and more. But with today’s personalized social media feeds and our tendency to live in bubbles of like-minded friends, are we getting each other wrong?

The non-profit organization “More in Common” surveyed 2,100 Americans on issues including climate change, patriotism, sexual assault, police conduct and more and asked Americans what they themselves believed and what they estimated people on the “other side” believed.

The conclusion? Americans have a distorted understanding of each other.

Take the QUIZ yourself to understand how your perceptions compare to others and come discuss the issue with other members of the Greenwich community at a small group event.
