[Partner Event] Meet Local Braver Angels and National Convention Watch Party
Irvine Ranch Water District - Community Meeting Room, 15500 Sand Canyon Ave, Irvine, CA, USLet's join our friends at Braver Angels.
Please Reg HERE also so we can track attendees from all Meetup sites.
Curious about Braver Angels and how people from different political perspectives can work together more effectively? Join us for an informal evening of conversation, community, and civic engagement.
We'll begin with a brief introduction to Braver Angels, learn about our local chapter, and explore opportunities to get involved in workshops, discussions, and community-building activities. Whether you're new to Braver Angels or already familiar with its mission, this is a great chance to meet local members and learn more about the organization.
We'll tune in to portions of the Braver Angels National Convention livestream (depending on the schedule and what is streaming at the time) and engage in a respectful discussion about the themes, ideas, and conversations taking place. No prior knowledge is required—just bring your curiosity and willingness to listen and share perspectives.
We'll provide light snacks. Feel free to bring your favorite snack to share and a beverage for yourself. There will also be plenty of time for casual networking, socializing, and getting to know fellow community members.
Whether you're interested in reducing polarization, strengthening civic engagement, or simply connecting with thoughtful people in the community, we hope you'll join us for an evening of meaningful conversation and fellowship.
Whether you lean red, blue, or somewhere in between, you're welcome. Come with curiosity. Leave with perspective.
