SUMMARY:Clackamas County Braver Angels February Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Do you listen only to argue back? \nCan emotions highjack your ability to listen? \nHave you pretended to listen to avoid discomfort?  \nDo you know how to listen to the other side with curiosity and to learn?  \nLet’s talk about–It’s free! \nJanuary’s meeting was very exciting. It was inspiring to see so many of us work on being aware of our emotions when stimulated by provocative videos of current polarizing issues. We learned that listening is a key part of bridging the divide of our country and emotions can highjack our ability to listen to others we disagree with. Join us for our February meeting to continue to explore how we can be better listeners. \n** This event is open to the media upon approval. Send requests to press@braverangels.org

SUMMARY:Braver Angels Quarterly SongFaire
DESCRIPTION:Braver Angels SongFaire is a quarterly concert event for musicians to share original songs with one another and with a wider audience online\, that connect well with the Braver Angels mission. Artists may perform live or present recorded songs. Our next SongFaire will be on Sunday\, March 1\, at 2-3:15 pm Pacific time (5-6:15 pm Eastern). We especially invite our monthly Song Square participants to come share new songs they have been working on and celebrate them together!

You will be notified the day before the event whether you are a performer\, on standby list or on top of the waiting list for the next Songfaire.\nOf course you can register to be an audience member. Come and join us in this musical celebration! \n*Tickets are Free\, Donations Help. Use promo code BRAVER during registration to get a free ticket. Donations beyond the free ticket support Braver Angels\, 501(c)(3). \nDeadline for performer registration – By Midnight (pacific)\, Friday\, February 27\, 2026 \nAudience registration – anytime before the event. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Diversity Vs. Unity: In a nation of immigrants\, what makes us ‘one people’?
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and immigration have always shaped the American story. From the nation’s beginnings\, the United States has wrestled with a core question: What holds us together as one people when we come from so many different places? And as a corollary: Can a shared national culture coexist in a multicultural society with large-scale immigration? \nThis conversation invites participants to consider a central American tension: Are diversity and unity in conflict—or can they strengthen each other in the United States? \nMulticulturalism is generally understood as a social and political framework in which multiple cultural\, ethnic\, religious\, or linguistic traditions are recognized\, protected\, and allowed to flourish within a single society\, rather than being absorbed into a single dominant culture. \nSome argue that when multiculturalism emphasizes group identity over shared civic norms\, it can weaken social trust\, shared values\, and national cohesion. In this view\, a strong common culture rooted in shared civic expectations\, language\, and norms is necessary for democratic solidarity and social stability\, particularly amid high levels of immigration. \nOthers contend that multiculturalism is compatible with\, and even supportive of\, a shared national culture. Immigrants may change the fabric of a society’s culture but so does the passage of time\, new technology\, social media\, a native-born population\, and much more. Immigrants change culture for the better by introducing new ideas\, expertise\, customs\, cuisines\, and art. Far from erasing the existing national culture\, they expand it in a way that is essential in an interconnected world. \nHere are a few questions we might explore: \nWhen you think about being ‘American\,’ what does that mean to you personally? And where did your sense of belonging in this country come from – family\, school\, religion\, community\, or something else?\nWhat values or habits do you think Americans need to share in order for our democracy to work?\nWhat does multiculturalism mean to you?\nCan a country be both strongly multicultural and strongly united—or do those pull in opposite directions?\nWhat role do things like language\, religion\, education\, and economic opportunity play in how easily newcomers integrate into American life?\nWhat do you think newcomers should learn or adopt in order to fully belong in American civic life?\nWhat do you think a community needs to offer to immigrants to help them assimilate?\nIf you could design one policy or civic practice to strengthen American unity\, what would it be? \n** This event is open to the media upon approval.
