We live in a polarized nation. Many of us get our information from self-selected media silos that reinforce our beliefs. We may go months, even years, without engaging with the “other” America. But we at Spaceship Media have repeatedly seen that people really want to communicate respectfully with and learn about those who have different positions and beliefs. Hundreds of women — from California to Pennsylvania, Michigan to Alabama, Louisiana to Oregon — have joined this respectful conversation of women with different political, social and cultural beliefs and backgrounds. The conversation is in a closed Facebook group, and continues to grow. The Many ran from February 2018 until the mid-term elections in November 2018, allowing participants to explore their questions, concerns and hopes for the future over a sustained period of time.
