Connections: How Will A Divided America Heal?

Millions of people across the country, especially members of underrepresented groups, are expressing shock, frustration, and fear over the outcome of the presidential election.

With a country so sharply divided, how do we, as Americans, come together? How do we move forward? And how do we begin to heal?

We try to answer those questions, and we discuss the futures of both the Democratic and Republican Parties. Our guests: 

  • Eve Elzenga, member of the Rochester chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW)
  • Josh Keaton, organizer for the local Democratic Party
  • Iman Abid, activist
  • Michelle Daniels, super volunteer for the Clinton campaign
  • Scott Onestak, president of the Young Republicans at the University of Rochester
  • Assemblyman Mark Johns (R), 135th District
  • Mark Assini(R), Gates Town Supervisor
