Local Community Debate – Resolved: Detention centers like “Alligator Alcatraz” are legitimate and effective to enforce U.S. immigration policy.
October 29 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm EDT
* Local Focus: We are using “Alligator Alcatraz” to bring local focus to the national issue of immigration law and enforcement
Join Braver Angels for a debate on the topic – Resolved: Detention centers like Alligator Alcatraz are legitimate and effective to enforce U.S. immigration policy.
Remember, our resolutions never represent Braver Angels’ stance on any issue, and we alternate between speeches for and against the resolution.
Join us for this free Local Community Debate, where participants from across the ideological spectrum will have the opportunity to speak and ask questions. Tell us what you have experienced and what you think.

You probably haven’t experienced anything like a Braver Angels Debate. This is a highly structured conversation in which a group of people think together, listen carefully to one another, and allow themselves to be touched and perhaps changed by each other’s ideas. When done well, everyone walks out a little closer to the truth, more aware of the validity in opposing views, and with tighter community relationships.
To learn more about our debates, you can take a look at our Quick Start Guide and this video about the spirit of a Braver Angels Debate.
