Wed. Apr 15, 7-9pm: Video: "Poverty Inc."

In this thought-provoking documentary, Poverty, Inc, we’ll explore how efforts to alleviate global poverty sometimes lead to unintended consequences — and what that can teach us about compassion, complexity, and creating change that truly helps.

Join facilitator Marla Estes each month to watch fascinating and insightful videos carefully selected to explore ways to depolarize and then engage in a facilitated discussion to help integrate new perspectives.

With a background in Psychology, Marla created Building Bridgers in 2017 to address the growing social and political polarization in our country.

For nearly 20 years, she has been giving presentations, movie nights, book groups, workshops, and classes helping people learn to develop insights and skills in approaching difficult conversations, deepening and growing healthy, functional, and fulfilling relationships.
