GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Hope in the Cities’ framework for honest conversation supports participants to:

• Participate in open, inclusive dialogue, leading to new partnerships among individuals of every viewpoint.
   
• Move beyond blame, denial and personal pain to take personal responsibility for constructive action and offer leadership towards social transformation.
   
• Engage in acts of reconciliation that acknowledge our racial history and seek to heal the wounds that continue to impact our communal life.

The Call to Community outlines Hope in the Cities approach to honest conversations.
