In this episode, we tackle a challenging question: How do you effectively influence politicians who are actively hostile to your political beliefs? Drawing from developmental frameworks and personal experience, we explore practical strategies for building bridges while staying true to your values.

What You'll Learn:

* A developmental framework for understanding how people engage with cultural differences

* Why starting with shared values works better than leading with controversial issues

* How to recognize and work with polarization - in others and ourselves

* Practical approaches to finding common ground in education policy

Key Takeaway: Moving past polarization doesn't mean abandoning our values - it means recognizing others' basic human dignity while staying true to our principles.
