Do you listen only to argue back?<\/span><\/p>\n

Can emotions highjack your ability to listen?<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you pretended to listen to avoid discomfort? <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know how to listen to the other side with curiosity and to learn? <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about–It\u2019s free!<\/p>\n

January’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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Local Focus<\/strong>: Snohomish and King Counties<\/span><\/p>\n

Does current law regarding parental rights in public schools need a rewrite? Join local Red and Blue leaning community members to seek common ground on this issue. Participants will be provided with basic background information on the topic and then will engage in respectful, honest dialogue about their views on the subject. We will work together to create a list of statements we all agree with. We will then offer our common ground statements in writing to the Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal.

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! Unlike Song Square, we will be performing completed songs and there will be no feedback \u2013 just a few comments from each artist to introduce their song. We can only accommodate 10 performers. 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!<\/span><\/p>\n

Local Focus: Houston, TX<\/span><\/p>\n

Grounds for Dialogue \u2013 Cultivating Understanding Across Divides<\/span><\/p>\n

Our nation is experiencing deepening political polarization, leading to social division, frustration, erosion of trust, and increasing difficulty in addressing shared challenges. Grounds for Dialogue responds to these conditions by creating a structured, welcoming space for honest and courageous conversation across political differences.<\/p>\n

This event is not a debate and not an exercise in persuasion. Instead, it is designed to foster connection, understanding, and the rebuilding of social cohesion. Participants will engage with one another as fellow community members, practicing careful listening, reflecting on personal values, and exploring complex issues with curiosity rather than defensiveness.<\/p>\n

Through moderated roundtable dialogue, participants will:
\n– Practice deep listening skills that reduce defensiveness and increase understanding
\n– Explore challenging civic issues while remaining grounded in shared human values
\n– Build relationships across political and social divides
\n– Strengthen the foundations for civic cooperation, trust, and community safety<\/p>\n

Grounds for Dialogue is part of an ongoing effort to help Houstonians reconnect with one another and develop the skills needed for more constructive personal and civic conversations.<\/p>\n

\nTopic: Taxes: In Washington State and beyond.
\nDescription: With the Washington State legislature on the verge passing a bill to implement our state’s first income tax (aka “Millionaires tax”), it seems like a good time for us to tackle the topic of taxes.

Unity: In a nation of immigrants, what makes us \u2018one people\u2019?","description":"

Diversity and immigration have always shaped the American story. From the nation\u2019s 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?<\/span><\/p>\n

This conversation invites participants to consider a central American tension: Are diversity and unity in conflict\u2014or can they strengthen each other in the United States?<\/p>\n

Multiculturalism 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.<\/p>\n

Some 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.<\/p>\n

Others contend that multiculturalism is compatible with, and even supportive of, a shared national culture. Immigrants may change the fabric of a society\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Here are a few questions we might explore:<\/p>\n

When you think about being \u2018American,\u2019 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\u2014or 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?<\/p>\n

* Local Focus: PA Centre County Alliance (Central PA), plus surrounding counties (Clearfield, Blair, Huntingdon, Clinton, Cameron).<\/p>\n

Central PA Braver Angels Members Call<\/strong> (90 minutes). <\/span><\/p>\n

Join Braver Angels members across Centre County and nearby counties (Clearfield, Blair, Huntingdon, Clinton, Cameron) for a simple, discussion-focused Zoom call to reconnect and help shape a local Central PA Braver Angels Alliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discussion topic (light and practical): Where do you get information you trust, and why?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll use three prompts:
\n1) What are your top 2\u20133 go-to sources in a normal week?
\n2) What makes you trust a source?
\n3) Where do you go for local news vs. national news, and why?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start with introductions so we can learn what brings you here and what you\u2019d like the Central PA Alliance to accomplish. After the call, we\u2019ll send a short survey to gather input on future topics and formats, and to identify members interested in helping organize, recruit, or host.<\/p>\n

No breakout rooms. Mostly group discussion.<\/p>\n
