In a period marked by escalating political hostility, a local initiative is working to restore respectful dialogue and bridge deep-seated divides.

The effort, founded by Carmel City Council Member and Local Civic Leader Jeff Worrell, takes on new urgency following the recent assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, a tragic event that has highlighted the increasing incivility and violence in modern political discourse.

Worrell, the founder of Project Civility, is a new organization dedicated to fostering a more respectful society.
