92Y American Conversation

92Y American Conversation Progress Begins with a Better Conversation A core belief at 92Y has always been that progress begins with a better conversation. What you care about.

A conversation that informs, not inflames. A conversation that allows better understanding, more civil engagement, and ultimately, a healthier society. A conversation that involves everyone who wants to be heard. That conversation is more crucial now than ever as America struggles to get back on track. In the run up to the 2012 election and beyond, 92Y’s Campaign for the American Conversation will

bring you the most outstanding conversations from our stage, from behind the scenes, and from a range of incredible partners: footage from events on our world-famous concert hall, but also the type of videos and interviews you’ve never seen before from us. Intimate talks with top politicians, journalists, and economists. Clear, concise explanations of complex but crucial issues from top thought leaders. You’ll watch the best speakers and the brightest minds discussing the issues that really matter—and then you’ll tell us what YOU think. What’s on your mind. Over the next several months, we’ll be producing and releasing more and more—so check back often. Join the Conversation.

To some, political correctness provides the safe space needed for people with little power in society to speak about their experiences. To others, like supporters of Donald Trump, it is a weapon that keeps them from expressing their true feelings.
