As deep political polarization continues to leak into nearly every part of our lives, many question if common ground is even possible anymore, much less where to even start. The Civility Project, led by journalists Stephen Henderson and Nolan Finley, brings people of opposing viewpoints together for healthy disagreement, personal interactions, and constructive conversations in hour-long workshops across Michigan and the country.
The Detroit Regional Chamber has long promoted civility as a cornerstone of government, economic, and societal prosperity. Whether on Michigan’s largest stages or in correspondence to the state and nation’s government leaders, the Chamber has created space for challenging conversations rooted in respect and problem-solving. Its Mackinac Policy Conference was even the platform from which The Civility Project was launched.
