In the US, a statewide campaign kicked off recently that calls on all Minnesotans across the political spectrum to reduce polarization during the 2024 election. Called “Reduce the Rancor, Minnesota,” the campaign is sponsored by the nonprofit Braver Angels and is supported by the chairs of Minnesota’s two major political parties. Elected officials, colleges and universities and religious and civic groups are also supporting the campaign. The campaign asks organizations and citizens to take at least one action to lower the temperature in their conversations about politics. “This does not mean giving up cherished values or policy beliefs. It means learning to disagree with respect rather than rancor,” said Bill Doherty, co-founder of Braver Angels and a University of Minnesota professor.
