#ReachAcross is a new hashtag we came up with over at #QOTO where you say something you admire about a group you view as an opponent to a cause you are passionate about. For example if you are a Liberal you would compliment Conservatives, if you are a Conservative you compliment Liberals. Whatever group or groups you feel passionate for whether its politics, activism, religion, whatever it might be.
Use the tag and list something you respect or admire about the opposing side. When you see someone mention a group that refers to you, then return a compliment in a reply.
I will kick it off:
#ReachAcross for this week is for the extreme left and extreme right political spectrum (non-moderates). I admire the passion and energy you put into your activism. There are many people who would love to have that sort of passion for anything.

Continuation #ReachAcross not to say something good about a "side" but about a person who is not like you in many ways, but who is doing something you agree with.

I dont think that would accomplish the goal here, which is to eliminate the polarization on social media. The hate for whatever side isnt your.

Of course. I think any positivisty is always good. I appreciate the positive effort.
