CONNECTING ACROSS DIFFERENCES - JULY 11th

🌟 You're Invited! 🌟  Join Us for an Interactive Session of Dialogue, Discussion, and Action

🌐 Event Title: Connecting Across Differences... A way to bridge bridges instead of creating divides

About the Event: Conversations seem to divide us instead of unite us. Our differences, whether political, religious, or community, seem to be becoming increasingly contentious. This workshop will provide space to learn the practices of healthy and constructive dialogue.

🗓️ Date: July 11th

🕕 Time: 4-6 pm

📍 Venue: Red Cross Building at the Historic Trust (605 Barnes Road, Vancouver, WA 98660)

💬 Amazing Speakers:

Braver Angels Oregon & SW Washington Experience

Join us for an introduction to Braver Angels and our mission to depolarize American politics, followed by small group discussions. You'll have the opportunity to engage in civil discourse with those who may hold differing views and gain a deeper understanding of the issues facing our area.

Don't miss this chance to come together and bridge the divide.

Citizenship is the common thread that connects all Americans. We are a nation bound not by race or religion but by the shared values of freedom, liberty, and equality. When Reds, Blues, and Others work together, the entire country benefits. Our movement is the guiding force that's helping Americans work together again.

Presented by Elise Keith and Jeff Spitzer

Bio: Braver Angels Oregon is working in our local communities by holding workshops, debates, and public presentations designed to bridge the polarizing political divide we experience in our country. These events allow conservatives and liberals to get past the destructive stereotypes so we can have civil conversations about real issues that lead to productive problem-solving.

Since our inception in 2018, we’ve hosted events – in person and online. These events have included Red/Blue Workshops, Skills Workshops, Town Halls, and several other public presentations. See our events calendar for upcoming local events.
