This workshop teaches skills for having more productive conversations about contentious policy issues related to race, such as affirmative action, policing, removing statues, and reparations. The workshop also helps conservatives and liberals understand core values and principles of
those who differ from them on public policy issues connected to race in America. The workshop is for anyone who:
●Wants to learn to communicate more effectively about race and public policy with
people who differ from them politically
● Believe in the equal worth and dignity of persons of all races
● Are prepared to listen, learn, and practice skills rather than criticize, instruct, or try to enlighten participants with different views
What to Not Expect: Nowadays there are many kinds of workshops dealing with race. Given the Braver Angels focus on divisions over public policy and our principle of not teaching people how they should think about political issues, it’s important to be clear what this workshop does not offer. It is not:
● A personal encounter between people of different races (the Braver Angels 1:1
conversations offer this)
● An in-depth discussion of race relations and racial identity in America
● An opportunity to explore participants’ attitudes towards people of other races
Jackets Vote, the Link Center and UW-Superior are nonpartisan and neither endorse nor oppose any political party, candidate, or viewpoint. This is a nonpartisan voter education event and program for UW-Superior and the surrounding community.
