Launched in 2016, Braver Angels is a non-profit bipartisan citizen’s movement to unify America. By bringing Red and Blue Americans together into a working alliance, Braver Angels is building new ways to talk to one another, participate together in public life, and influence the direction of the nation.
“This particular workshop, Families and Politics, is a great start to providing the skills to improve communication with the people we care about the most. Our hope is that these skills will help folks to connect with those they may disagree with and elevate conversation with respect to hot-button topics like politics” says Stacy Farrettl, local Braver Angels ambassador. “In addition, having an amazing partner like the Howell Carnegie Library shows their commitment to community and to their mission to create opportunities that transform lives through knowledge. In these trying times, polarization doesn’t just affect personal relationships, it can affect workplaces, schools, and economic development and we are delighted to present this opportunity to strengthen the community”.
By creating opportunities for meaningful discussions, Braver Angels works to dial down the heated rhetoric that gets in the way of real conversations and accurate understanding of our differences. The objective is not to push an agenda or change participant’s minds, but rather to provide a place for deeper understanding. Braver Angels offers community workshops, alliances, debates, corporate offerings, podcasts, film clubs and more! For details and to get involved visit www.BraverAngels.org.
