Join Us for Repairing the Breach In a Time of Toxic Political Polarization
Tuesday, December 3rd – 4:30 PM at Temple Emanuel

Join Governor Jared Polis as he hosts “Repairing the Breach in a Time of Toxic Political Polarization” on Tuesday, December 3rd, at 4:30 PM (MT). Discover how we can forge new understandings across political differences and respect the dignity of others. Learn from leaders who engage their differences productively.

Speakers include:
– Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado (Democrat)
– Bill Owens, former Governor of Colorado (Republican)
– Dr. Tim Shriver, CEO of the Special Olympics and Co-Founder of the Dignity Index
– Rabbi Emily Hyatt, Associate Rabbi at Temple Emanuel
– Shara Smith, CEO, Interfaith Alliance of Colorado
– Pastor Brandon Washington, Lead Pastor, Embassy Christian Bible Church
– Paul S. Edwards, Director, Wheatley Institute

This gathering will elevate examples where leaders are successfully engaging their differences respectfully and productively. Leaders will share how insights from faith can be used to bridge political and cultural divisions and how we can “disagree better”. In this moment, when relationships have frayed, we are all invited to become repairers of the breach, as in Isaiah 58:12, and to find our way back to each other as fellow Americans.
