Now that this conference is in the past, I want to share some of my highlights and what comes next. Read Full Article.

Reuniting America: Tools for Changing the Political Game
A Two-Day Intensive with Joseph McCormick, April 22 & 23
Do you want to change the political discussion to what 80% of us can agree on? Do you want to attract people beyond "the choir" to your agenda? Are you looking for unexpected allies? Join Joseph in the San Francisco Area. More Info
Read what Miki Kashtan has to say about Reuniting America:
Over the years I have always been conscious about how little success we have had in terms of crossing the political and cultural divide in this country. Joseph McCormick is someone who has really succeeded in doing the "impossible" and bringing together people with amazing results, both at the national level and locally in Seattle. I believe we all could learn a lot from him about this process, and I am grateful he is bringing his work to the Bay Area.
