Monthly Meeting - August - The Braver Angels Approach to Depolarization in the US

  • Vista Global Academies 2609 West 5th Street Santa Ana, CA, 92703 United States (map)

Braver Angels is a national, grassroots movement bringing Americans from all walks of life together to help turn down political rancor and strengthen our democracy. We offer carefully designed workshops (and other events) that create a space for productive and respectful conversation across the political divide and reduce our own internal polarization. The focus is on learning to listen with empathy and curiosity about how life experiences have shaped those with sometimes very different ideas to ours, and developing respectful relationships. The key is offering perspectives rather than needing to change another's mind on issues that are important to them. BA also offers a variety of events such as finding common ground on difficult issues, community town halls, and candidate debates.

Speakers:

Robert (Bob) McDuff, Braver Angels Moderator and Ambassador
Susan Rico, Braver Angels Organizer and Ambassador

Also join us to learn more about the great work UNA-OC and UNA, in general, are doing and how you might be able to get in involved. Let's figure out how we can make a difference to make the world a better place for all.

All are welcome.

Feel free to join us for lunch following the meeting at a restaurant nearby.
