Because the edges of the map are rarely as empty as they appear.</p>\n<p>Why Listen?</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Discover how unlikely connections can bridge cultural, political, and geographic divides.</li>\n<li>Walk away with practical ideas for making a real impact in your own community.</li>\n<li>Hear smart, lively conversations that challenge assumptions without taking themselves too seriously.</li>\n<li>Explore simple ways to build more understanding, respect, and common ground in a fractured world.</li>\n</ul>","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/10852394/americanoutlandssmall_300x300.png","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
