The League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley invites you to appetizers and a fight.

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.

What is Braver Angels?
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.

Join us for our first large, in-person LWVDV event in three years!
