The Civility Button Making Project

Let’s Talk!

Is it possible to achieve understanding, even between opposing political beliefs, through civil discourse and deep listening? We think so.

The Civility Project is an ongoing, artfully designed set of actions and objects designed to help build communities and restore civil discourse.

Community building and civil response, regardless of political belief, will be encouraged through:

•Local and national distribution of artwork that encourages non-violent communication
•Opportunities for gathering and conversation
•Networking across the United States with others who long for peace and civility in their neighborhoods and governmental units.

The Civility Project supports free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the unfettered right to vote and encourages non-violent language especially in areas of disagreement.

The Civility Project promotes understanding between opposing groups through the encouragement of story sharing and deep listening.

Help with making civility buttons this weekend for distribution around the US.
