Thank you for joining us for Pant suit Politics.

We'll open a Pant suit Politics. It's been an excruciating week of gun violence in America,

where young people were shot for knocking on the wrong door, turning around in the wrong

driveway and opening the wrong corridor.

We're going to process that here together today as well as continue our conversation on

opioids in America, but talking about the fentanyl epidemic.

And as always, we try to redirect our energy at the end of the show by talking about what's

on our mind outside politics.

And today we're going to share a small piece of our conversation with Laura Tremaine on

her podcast, 10 Things I Have to Tell You About Our Friendship.

I love that conversation with Laura. It's one of the few where I thought I wish this could

last longer. And her book has come up in my parenting more times than I can count since

I read it. So it is such a gem.

Next week we are heading to Fort Wayne, Indiana to speak to the community there about difficult

conversations and finding connection through conflict. We have spoken this spring with colleges

about their relationships with the surrounding community. We have spoken with corporations

trying to motivate their employees post-COVID. We've talked to church congregations, trying

to heal after some tough theological divides. And we love this work. We take it very seriously.

We spend a lot of time speaking with organizers to figure out what's most needed in a space

and how we can create a space that allows people to process and find some vocabulary for

moving forward. So if you would like to have us come speak to your organization or company
