The Art of Calling In: Loretta Ross

We discuss "calling in" as a practice rooted in a human rights framework that can transform how we engage across our divide and potentially be the bridge that helps our democracy survive.

 

Loretta’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1. Do an integrity audit: pause and self assess before responding

2. Always focus on the good part of people

 

Loretta Ross is an activist and an associate professor at Smith College. Loretta has had a long career in the human rights movement and her new book is Calling In: How to Start Making Change with Those You’d Rather Cancel.
