    Really appreciate Wilk leading the way not just in having conversations across differences, but in forging relationships with people that have different views. These conversations are informative and exemplary. They challenge assumptions and broaden our own understanding. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend!

  • Connection, not division!

    It’s gratifying to find a platform that amplifies the importance of seeking and

    finding common ground, rather than focusing on why “the other” should be demonized, ignored… or worse.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paid Protesting Isn't What You Think It Is – DTH Episode 325 with Adam Swart
Q: What role do media and social networks play in shaping perceptions of protests today?
The guest notes that media is increasingly siloed, with each side getting favorable coverage within its lane, while social media amplifies extreme aspects, making in-person persuasion more challenging but still possible when protests are respectful and visible in real life.
Paid Protesting Isn't What You Think It Is – DTH Episode 325 with Adam Swart
Q: How do you respond to the accusation of paying crowds, and how do you ensure credibility?
He argues that both sides pay for various support in different forms, stresses transparency, and emphasizes recruiting genuinely supportive participants while avoiding unlawful behavior, with a need to address who funds the efforts to deter simplistic accusations.
Paid Protesting Isn't What You Think It Is – DTH Episode 325 with Adam Swart

What Happens When Immigration's Biggest Opponents Actually Listen to Each Other? – DTH Bonus Episode with Jim Robb and Diego Sanchez
Q: What do you want delegates and listeners to take away from the Citizens Commission on Immigration and this convention?
The guests emphasize that the effort is modest yet ambitious: to model a process where deeply divided people can find serious areas of agreement, engage Congress through constituent conversations, and shift the national discourse away from toxically adversarial framing toward constructive, respectful dialogue.
What Happens When Immigration's Biggest Opponents Actually Listen to Each Other? – DTH Bonus Episode with Jim Robb and Diego Sanchez
Q: Diego, talk to us about that first meeting with Jim and what it felt like to sit next to someone from the other side.
Diego describes being surprised by how quickly the dialogue felt honest and nonperformative, recognizing trust and a shared willingness to listen. He notes that they discovered common ground and that the initial interaction demonstrated that people from opposing sides can talk constructively when given space and a neutral convener.
