In partnership with KCUR, Missouri Humanities is issuing a challenge to Missourians to have an intentional conversation with someone who has different ideological beliefs than you. The #CivilityChallenge is a hands-on exercise using a conversation deck that aims to help Missourians consider how they want to regard their fellow citizens on the other side of the partisan divide.
Only 300 Missourians will receive these free conversation cards. This challenge is part of "Why It Matters: Uniting a Polarized Nation." Learn More About Why It Matters
