Creating Trust in Elections. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Joan Blades.

We learn about the ‘Trust in Elections Initiative’ from Joan Blades—successful political activist and co-founder and past leader of moveon.org, a public policy group and political action committee. Predicting that the results of the 2024 US election are going to be questioned, Blades and her team at LivingRoomConversations.org offer a scalable structured conversation tool that can begin to achieve some key outcomes: (1) Acquiring skills and confidence in each other and our election practices ahead of November and walk away with increased trust for tackling other critical issues; (2) countering the false narrative of division that ‘conflict profiteers’ are spreading,

Phyllis Blees shows us how these activities form core consciousness practices are necessary to move people from conflict into the intersections of justice, prosperity, sustainability, and societal peace in a Matrix of Peace Whole Systems Model of Society view of America.
