'Bridging Divide' group meets Oct. 17 at Menifee Library

Menifee Bridging the Divide is a group formed by and for Menifee residents to bring together members of the local community. We actively seek to bridge divisions that have arisen in regards to politics, race, religion, and other factors. All Menifee residents are welcome, as are members of neighboring communities. We do not argue or try to change people’s minds. There is no hidden agenda. We just want to build trusting and respectful relationships among our neighbors, while recognizing and respecting our differing opinions and values.

Our next meeting is Monday, Oct. 17, at the new Menifee Library on La Piedra and Menifee Road. Please arrive around 5:20 so we can get started right at 5:30. The meeting runs until 6:30. Our topic for this month is Media. We are all influenced by what we read, see and hear on “the news”. Our choice of media plays a key role in how we understand the world. We expect this topic to last more than one meeting, so we’re tightening this month’s focus to look at one resource that can be used to evaluate various news sources: a media bias chart, published by Ad Fontes Media, Inc. We hope you can join us.
