The League of Women Voters of Moscow Speaker Series will present “Becoming Braver Angels”: Depolarizing the United States at 12 p.m. on Jan. 29 at the 1912 Center Arts Room.

 

This presentation by ambassador and moderator Kathy Dawes will be an overview of the goals and opportunities offered by “Braver Angels,” a national organization that began in 2016 with the mission of “Building a House United.” The driving force behind this mission is: “Bringing Americans together to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic.” Participants will learn about ways we can all work together to depolarize our nation.
