Civics: Community Forum: Transforming Pain, Fear and Anger into Action – Details: The Delridge neighborhood of West Seattle experienced a hate crime in July that was clearly inspired by negative presidential political campaigning.

But this election has widened our country’s already divisive political environment. “Politically incorrect speech” has been honored in certain political circles. We’ve heard political candidates claim that our election system is rigged and watched them stir-up and unleash anger and hate throughout our country. With Donald Trump’s surprise victory, our country now faces extensive uncertainty as Trump moves to address his campaign promises which pitted communities against each other, setting the table for continued anger and possible violence going forward. – Time: 1:00pm -4:00pm – Where: Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation: (7141 California Ave SW Seattle, Washington 98136)- More Info: Here
