Twin Cities PBS segment of Almanac at the Capital featuring the Braver Angels Red/Blue Workshop at the Inver Grove Heights Library in January 2019.

‘Braver Angels really helped me to see the humanity in people from the other side’: One high schooler’s journey to better political conversations
A native of Boulder, Colorado, Mia didn’t know many Trump supporters—and she was nervous to engage with them. “I was like, ‘Don’t they hate women? Don’t they hate black people?’” she said. “That was my initial belief because that’s what I had heard about people who voted for Trump.” But she quickly realized she was wrong. During the first Braver Lens session, Mia was able to connect with conservatives in the group and recognize their points of commonality. “When we met, they showed their pictures, and explained their life stories, and I was able to see where our values overlap,” she said.
