Let`s Talk America is a nationwide movement that will bring Americans from all points on the political spectrum together in cafes, bookstores, churches and living rooms for lively, open-hearted dialogue to consider questions essential to the future of our democracy. Let’s Talk America reconnects with the ‘town hall’ meeting spirit that’s the lifeblood of our democracy. Let`s Talk America is where everyone can talk about America’s promise, about what freedom, democracy, unity and equality mean to us -- to "we the people." Let`s Talk America is a meeting ground where we can come together to listen, speak, ask and learn -- without being forced to agree, change or bite our tongues.



Let`s Talk America is a pilot project of the Utne Institute and follows in the tradition of Utne Magazine, which in 1991 launched the Neighborhood Salon Association. Café Utne, the Webby Award-winning online community now operated by the Utne Institute, has carried on the salon tradition through online dialogue since 1995.
