BRAVER ANGELS MEETS THE COMMON GROUND PROJECT
10/12/2025 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm CDT
**Local Focus: Baton Rouge, LA
Everyone, we have speakers/guests for our October meeting. Michael DiResto, director of LSU’s Reily Center for Public Affairs, and Steven Procopio, president of the Public Affairs Research Council, will join us for a discussion about other efforts in our community to address and combat polarization.
The Reilly Center and PAR have recently combined forces to create the Common Ground Project, which shares similar goals with Braver Angels. According to their joint statement, “In recent years, Louisiana has seen increased ideological clustering, especially between urban and rural communities, alongside growing distrust in the media, government, and even neighbors with different views. These trends have undermined the foundations of democratic problem-solving.”
The meeting will give us a chance to get to know each other’s projects and explore opportunities for collaboration.
