Talk Truth Project
How do we correct misinformation and engage in connected, civil, and empathetic conversations so that we can choose better leaders, and find solutions that create a better world for us all?
We are deeply concerned about the state of our national discourse and its direct impact on voters’ lives and political choices. Therefore, we have established the JPF Talk Truth Project to inspire citizens to be actively engaged with issues that affect all our lives. This includes learning to de-escalate high conflict situations and train citizens to engage in more powerful and effective conversations. Our goals are to: (a) engage and motivate individuals, (b) train participants, (c) develop a hub of useful content, and (d) scale our impact.

Testimonials
An evening with the Talk Truth project reminded us of our calling to build Beloved Community, particularly in the face of disinformation and manipulation.
