In fact, 93 percent of people in the US want to reduce divisiveness, and 86 percent believe it's possible to disagree in a healthy way. Yet with increasing political and social fragmentation, many of us don't know how to move past our differences.

Bridging is more than a discrete list of actions to follow--it's a mindset we can develop to help us foster belonging and connection. Key elements of the bridging mindset include: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Understanding how deeply \"othering\" shapes our world, priming us to see difference of any kind--race, gender, political orientation, etcetera--as a threat\u003cbr\u003e- Identifying where \"breaking\" happens, when people are excluded or treated differently for being perceived as other\u003cbr\u003e- Embracing \"belonging\" as one of our core human needs--we all want to feel seen, valued, and appreciated just as we are\u003cbr\u003e- Committing ourselves to treat all people like they belong\u003cbr\u003e- Allowing ourselves grace when we inevitably fall short--and resolving to try again \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout the book, powell shares personal reflections as well as practices to help you begin bridging wherever you are--in your community, friendships, family, workplace--even with those whom you might never have imagined you could find common ground. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Bridging is a salve for our fractured world,\" powell says. \"We can overcome the illusion of separateness by honoring our differences, transcending the notion that difference divides us, and instead cocreate a world where everyone belongs.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John A.

DiAngelo also made a provocative claim: white progressives cause the most daily harm to people of color. In \u003ci\u003eNice Racism\u003c\/i\u003e, her follow-up work, she explains how they do so.

She challenges the ideology of individualism and explains why it is OK to generalize about white people, and she demonstrates how white people who experience other oppressions still benefit from systemic racism. Writing candidly about her own missteps and struggles, she models a path forward, encouraging white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage, lifelong commitment, and accountability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNice Racism\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential work for any white person who recognizes the existence of systemic racism and white supremacy and wants to take steps to align their values with their actual practice.
