Will there be a real fight? No!
Please join LWVDV and Braver Angels for this introductory session that will kick off a series to help you get the tools you need - in a safe environment - to help foster greater understanding and connection within our community.
Carlos Hernandez and Ellie Sears of the San Francisco Alliance of Braver Angels discuss a controversial political issue in a powerful new way. Learn new ways to discuss controversial and often contentious issues. Over the course of the evening, you’ll also learn more about this group as they give a demonstration and answer your questions, and maybe you’ll even volunteer to join another member on stage to practice the Braver Angels approach.
Braver Angels is a nationally recognized convener and facilitator of community-based conversations that engage and nurture positive discussion and understanding of controversial issues. Braver Angels was started in 2016 as a result of increasing polarization occurring in communities across the US resulting in the need for and interest in finding productive ways to bridge these gaps.
