250 Years Later: The Declaration of Independence in 2026

July 9 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm PDT

Host Organization: Mid-Willamette Valley Alliance
Partner Org(s): LBCC Civil Discourse Program
State/Region: OR
Setting: In-person

* Local Focus: Linn County and Benton County, Oregon

The Declaration of Independence was written 250 years ago. We are already familiar with the “truths held to be self-evident” specified in that founding document. Yet when revisiting the Declaration, we are often surprised to be reminded that much the text is a list of specific grievances against King George III. How are we to understand this document in 2026?

Join the Braver Angels Mid-Willamette Valley Alliance to explore the Declaration of Independence. We’ll listen to and share thoughts on how the core principles of the Declaration resonate today.
