THREE BOARD OPENINGS AT "OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION" For quite a while, I've been working with a small army of student interns from across the country, coming up with a way to reduce partisanship and get America talking again. We call ourselves OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION, or ONC for short (see https://lnkd.in/gJeviJJG). Our focus is on problem-solving, not finger-pointing. We hope to bring about a less angry, more productive America. We just got approved as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and we are gearing up to raise money. We have a small board and would now like to round it out and fill in some gaps. In particular, we are seeking: 1) Someone really good at grant-writing and nonprofit fundraising; 2) Someone really good at PR; and 3) Someone from the world of education (we have some ideas we think might be sellable to high schools and colleges). There is no pay at this time, but there is great satisfaction in working on such an important cause. Once we raise money, we want to be fair to all. There is one 90-minute meeting at the end of each of our three semesters (fall, spring, summer) and once in a while we have issues our management team wants to bring to to the board's attention. We will be very open to your ideas. If you come up with a idea we want to pursue, we'll assign a team of students to carry it out. Interested in helping America return to sanity? If yes, please DM me and we'll talk. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Here's to a less angry, more productive America.

I'm working with a small army of student interns who are building a new kind of nonpartisan media outlet. OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION, a new nonprofit, welcomes all points of view, respectfully stated. Let's support America's future leaders; hope to see you Monday late afternoon/early evening!

OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION's Kickstarter Campaign Just Reached 113% of Goal My students and I are starting something called "OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION," or ONC for short. ONC is our attempt to reduce toxic partisanship in America. Our mission is to get America talking again. We are a new nonprofit. You can learn all about ONC at our Kickstarter page. See link, below. We just went over goal and we have 11 days to go. Any additional contributions -- even very small ones -- will be appreciated. We hope to show that, despite all the doom and gloom about America, there really is widespread support for trying something new. Right now we have 66 supporters. If several of you contributed a $5, or even just a dollar, maybe we can get up to 100 supporters. One hundred sounds better than 66 -- and 200 sounds better than 100! Next year we will be approaching big foundations that are entering the "save democracy, save journalism" space. Thanks for your consideration. Here's a link to our Kickstarter page: https://lnkd.in/dA8cmW4h Jeff Hall P.S: If you are a nonprofit fundraiser, CTO, journalist or PR professional who wants to join our excellent team of experienced advisors, please DM me. Nobody is getting paid right now, but we hope to change that in 2024. Everything is very part-time -- maybe an hour or two a week. Our cause is good and you will like working with our students. America will thank you one day for your contribution today.

Some students and I built a digital gathering place where it's OK to conduct nonpartisan discussions about public policy. Our focus is on solutions, not finger-pointing. OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION is now 89% of the way toward achieving its Kickstarter goal, with 18 days remaining. Let's get America talking again; consider helping us get over finish line: https://lnkd.in/dA8cmW4h
