Throughout the film historical context and statistics are given to allow the viewer to understand the situation in the tiny are a of land known as the Gaza Strip.Light snacks and discussion will follow the screening\, along with a chance to meet JVP members\, pick up literatu re and purchase our awesome new t-shirts. https://www.mapm.org/events/cale ndar/event/275-film-screening-gaza-fights-for-freedom DTSTART:20200216T140000Z DTEND:20200216T170000Z LOCATION:East Side Freedom Library\, (1105 Greenbrier St\, Saint Paul\, Min nesota 55106) SUMMARY:Film Screening: 'Gaza Fights for Freedom' URL:https://www.mapm.org/events/calendar/event/275-film-screening-gaza-figh ts-for-freedom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260423T040857UTC-7275Mz9RV2@https://www.mapm.org/ DTSTAMP:20260423T040857Z DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE.\nBetter Angels \;is a national nonprofit tha t has developed and pioneered concrete\, structured practices for dialogue across political divides. Its leadership is half “red” and half “blue.” T he First Universalist Peace Circle is hosting two Better Angels workshops at church this winter/spring. The Conversation Skills workshop is a prereq uisite for the Red/Blue workshop offered in April (having attended another Better Angels skills workshop previously is also acceptable).\nThis works hop is offered twice: choose either February 22 or March 14\nIn our curren t polarized political environment\, many people avoid or even dread politi cal conversations with friends or family members whose politics differ fro m their own. They worry\, rightly so\, that any attempts at political disc ussions will devolve into arguments and acrimony\, and result in hurt feel ings or anger. In this interactive Better Angels workshop you will learn s kills for having respectful conversations that clarify differences\, searc h for common ground\, and affirm the importance of the relationship. Anyon e interested in having better conversations with people on the other side of the political aisle will benefit from this workshop.\nGoals\n\nTo learn about the perspectives\, feelings\, and experiences of someone who differ s from you politically\nTo have a sense of satisfaction about how you conv eyed your own perspective\, feelings\, and experiences\nTo discover some c ommon ground\, if it’s there\n\nAfter a brief introduction and a discussio n about what can go wrong in political discussions\, participants in a ski lls workshop can expect to learn the following:\n\nTone setting skills\nLi stening skills\nSpeaking skills\nHandling difficult moments\n\nYou will pr actice conversation skills in a pair with someone of your same political p ersuasion—red or blue. “Reds” lean conservative/libertarian and tend to vo te Republican. “Blues” lean liberal/progressive and tend to vote Democrati c. If you fall somewhere in the middle\, you can choose a side for purpose s of practicing the skills. https://www.mapm.org/events/calendar/event/277 -bridging-the-political-divide-conversation-skills-a-better-angels-skills- workshop DTSTART:20200222T090000Z DTEND:20200222T120000Z LOCATION:First Universalist Church of Minneapolis (3400 Dupont Ave S\, Minn eapolis\, MN 55408\, USA) SUMMARY:“Bridging the Political Divide: Conversation Skills” A Better Angel s Skills Workshop URL:https://www.mapm.org/events/calendar/event/277-bridging-the-political-d ivide-conversation-skills-a-better-angels-skills-workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260423T040857UTC-7277XRc3Vu@https://www.mapm.org/ DTSTAMP:20260423T040857Z DESCRIPTION:In 1999\, WAMM’s End War Committee partnered with other local a ctivist groups to initiate a weekly vigil on the Lake Street and Marshal A venue bridge in St.Paul.
