Braver Angels on Immigration and U.S. Use of Force in Iran

In a time of deep political polarization, it’s easy to fall into the trap of assuming the worst about “the other side.” This event invites people from across the political spectrum to come together for an honest, respectful conversation that aims to challenge common stereotypes, uncover shared values, and promote understanding — not conversion.

Hosted in the spirit of curiosity rather than combat, the discussion will explore the myths we carry about people with opposing political views, with particular focus on two of today’s most charged topics: immigration policy and the United States’ use of force against Iran. These are issues where assumptions run deep and common ground is rarely sought. This event offers space for participants to listen, reflect, and speak openly without fear of judgment.

Whether you lean red, blue, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome. Come with curiosity. Leave with perspective.
