I really like the topic on how to deal with people you disagree with that was discussed in the I Grew up in Poverty video and in the handout. I like how he connected with others by sharing his story, then listening to another person's story and then tried to put both stories together. In essence, bringing both people along on the journey. Your practiced agenda and talking points will just create anger, defensiveness and arguments and no one gets anywhere. I also like the Calling out Racism: Contacting Elected Officials Handout because it gives a very clear, easy template to follow to get in contact with officials and make your voice heard.
