Dear {{Constituent First Name}},
Please join us on May 13 at 2:00 ET for our monthly Stakeholder Meeting. We are honored to feature our TRUST+ partners in Rhode Island. The Center for Mediation & Collaboration of Rhode Island (CMCRI) has a key role as part of an early node of hate incident reporting in a state working to synergize its various reporting mechanisms across sectors. For over 25 years, the Center has worked to transform conflict from confrontational to collaborative, seeking solutions that work for everyone, across generations, industries, and communities. Learn how CMCRI's unique position demonstrates how the Trust Network's incident dashboard and asset mapping tools elevate this community's ability to generate early warnings and early responses to hate.
Jen Stevens is the Trust+ coordinator for the Center for Mediation RI, and also coordinates the RI Commission on Prejudice and Bias.

Sharing on behalf of Listen First:
Check out the latest report released by More in Common, specifically related to Gen Z Americans and views on democracy! The information is also relevant because it shows why previous messaging that encouraged young people to vote (or gave more logistical information) isn’t often enough.
Access to the report can be found (and shared!) using the links below:
I run Bedrock, which was founded almost two years ago to address hate-fueled violence. Lately, some have suggested that we should narrow our focus from hate-fueled violence to political violence. I think a narrower focus would be a mistake.
Let’s start with—what’s the difference? Hate-fueled violence is violence targeting someone based on who they are, and political violence is targeting someone based on what they think. There is obviously heavy overlap between the two in terms of who each target, and even more in terms of who might commit them.
No registration required. Please take a look, and feel free to share with others who might benefit.
Some background. We are a team of experienced e-learning leaders. We have developed new ways to integrate generative AI with interactive multimedia, and we can see that a new category of online materials is going to emerge and expand.
These modules and learning infomercials automatically personalize the experience for users, and will thus generate deeper learning and superior engagement and impact. Organizations can exploit this approach for public education and advocacy.
