While many families and friends try not to discuss politics or values during a holiday gathering, sometimes hot-button issues come up anyway.
Our county, communities, and even families are often deeply divided on critical issues facing our nation -- from racial justice to climate change to COVID. The messenger most likely to begin to change someone's mind is a friend or loved one like you.
The Sierra Club's Holiday Discussion Guide is here to help you manage those difficult conversations and includes topics that may come up during your chats. Above all, we encourage you to approach conversations with openness, empathy, and patience to listen and continue educating yourself (and your family and friends) on these crucial issues.
Know you'll be discussing these topics? We encourage you to share your experiences, stories, and questions here so we can learn from each other's work to build understanding around these critical issues. You can share below.
