Family relationships are becoming casualties of our toxic, polarized environment. Family members are having political arguments, avoiding each other, or even cutting off lifetime relationships. Braver Angels helps people preserve important family bonds while still being true to values and political beliefs.Braver Angels will give an overview of their efforts as a preview to local workshop offered.

Braver Angels, a national nonprofit organization, is helping Americans bridge our increasing political/cultural divide through workshops, debates, dialogue and other events where “red” (conservative) and “blue” (liberal) participants attempt to better understand one another’s positions and discover their shared values. Committed to depolarizing America, Braver Angels brings together individuals with differing political beliefs to engage in constructive conversations, fostering understanding and empathy. Learn why we must “depolarize within” to enable respectful conversations with others, and find out how to get involved locally and/or nationally.
The Braver Angels Way
We state our views freely and fully, without fear.
We treat people who disagree with us with honesty, dignity and respect.
We welcome opportunities to engage those with whom we disagree.
We believe all of us have blind spots and none of us are not worth talking to.
We seek to disagree accurately, avoiding exaggeration and stereotypes.
We look for common ground where it exists and, if possible, find ways to work together.
We believe that, in disagreements, both sides share and learn.
In Braver Angels, neither side is teaching the other or giving feedback on how to think or say things differently.
