About the Event

Join musician, author, and peacebuilder Daryl Davis, known for his transformative work engaging members of hate groups, and Jeff Schoep, a former leader of one of the most prominent neo-Nazi organizations in the U.S., who has since renounced extremism and now advocates for peace and reconciliation.


This event centers around the belief that mending the fabric of our shared humanity begins with courageous conversation, empathy, and listening deeply.


Together, Daryl and Jeff will explore:


  • Calling people in vs. calling people out: how approaching others with compassion, not condemnation, leads to real transformation.
  • Principled bridge-building: practical examples of dialogue that transcend ideology and fear.
  • The power of human connection as a tool for healing and peace.


Let us come together not in judgment, but in hope. Not in fear, but in understanding. And not in silence, but in powerful, healing conversation.
