Beating Toxic Polarization

Here's how we can overcome the negative banter of right wing media. [from the Rural Outreach Coordinated Campaign]( {NAME}, it's no secret that bitter polarization is a major obstacle in today's political environment. The perceptions we hold of our political parties often seem to be derived from the personalities on cable news. But there is a way we can overcome the negative banter put out by Fox News, Breitbart, OAN and the like: equipping organizers to have effective, face-to-face conversations with their neighbors. The best counter to a baseless, ad hominem attack, is to calmly prove one's claims through our actions. And organizers are all about action. We need to empower genuine local leaders to effectively lead on the issues themselves. Because the fact is, our issues hold majority support all over America - even in the "reddest" districts. The only way to change a community's heart and mind is through the example of enacting positive change on every level of government. Change that resonates at the granular level in people's everyday lives. ROCC is all about learning, identifying, adapting, and implementing the craft of the best rural organizers from around the country to improve government from the local school board to the office of the Presidency and everywhere in-between. Because the fact is, those connections are much closer and much more vital than we think. We'll never beat partisan bias with cable news talking points, but we can through the actions of genuine local leaders and communicating neighbor-to-neighbor.
