Please join us in discussing politics and healing the political divide. All are welcome. This event will be hosted by Debbie and Jakki (conservatives) and Luke (liberal). Find them at an outside table with the Braver Angels sign.
These are structured to provide a few opportunities to discuss different topics in conversations with a partner. We try to pair people together with differing political beliefs (as much as we can do conveniently, given who shows up). We will alternate pairs each time so you can speak with multiple people about different topics.
## We abide by 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.
