Deep canvassing was started in 2008 as a successful way to have individual conversations with strangers to try to reduce prejudice. Currently, a group of NYYM Friends is in the process of discerning how a Quaker version could help bridge the divisions in our country one encounter at a time. Please join us to learn more, participate in a mini training, hear about our experiences so far, and help us strengthen and refine this project as we move forward. 

Facilitated by Todd Drake, Co-Director of Operations at Penington Friends House, and Margaret Lew, 15th Street Meeting, NYC.
