Together, we will create 1001 real conversations across divides
What This Is
1001 Conversations is a project that invites people to connect across difference.
We provide resources and inspiration to help you have conversations about topics that matter to you with people in life you disagree with,
In a time of deep social and political polarization, the simple act of conversation can open understanding, even if disagreement remains.
Why 1001 Conversations?
We’re facing a crisis of radicalized belief.
It’s a complex problem, and there are no simple solutions. But there are interventions that help. One of the most powerful is also one of the simplest: conversation.
A broken dialogue is just one of the many problems we’re dealing with right now, but it’s becoming an increasingly dangerous one. The good news is that destructive dialogue can be drowned out by constructive dialogue.
That’s what this project is trying to do, one conversation at a time.
By committing to 1001 conversations, we aim to create a ripple effect of understanding, empathy, and connection.

Host or encourage conversations in your own community
