Braver Angels (https://braverangels.org/) is a cross-partisan movement working to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic. This workshop is being offered for free by zoom from Seattle, and a group of Islanders will be attending together at St. David's. In this session, we will begin with our own work, learning how the effects of polarization impact us and lead us to regard people with other political leanings as if they were enemies. We believe that our democracy requires us to learn how to interact (and often disagree) without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping large swaths of the population.
