SUMMARY:Common Ground Workshop: Addressing Immigration
DESCRIPTION:Local Focus: Irvine\, CA \n  \n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a Common Ground Workshop on the topic of immigration in the United States. \nThe Braver Angels Common Ground Workshop brings together equal numbers of Conservatives and Liberals – Reds and Blues (4-8 of each) – for a deep dive into a problem\, such as addressing climate change\, electoral reform\, or abortion. Together\, participants talk about their connection to the issue and their opinion on solutions. By the end of the workshop\, participants have come up with jointly and unanimously held Points of Agreements on values\, concerns\, and policies. \nThe Common Ground workshop is an outgrowth of Braver Angels’ signature Red-Blue workshop and allows participants to go deeper into a single issue. Points of Agreement can be fleshed out at future group meetings\, and when possible\, lead to joint Red-Blue actions such as op-eds\, joint speaking\, and meetings with legislators. \nGoals: \n\nTo delve into a single issue where citizens differ\, and learn how each other sees the problem\nTo delineate areas of common ground and points of agreement\nTo learn something that might be helpful to others in our community and the nation.\n\nLogistics: \nThere are two ways to join a Common Ground Workshop: \n\nParticipant: A participant will engage in small- and large-group discussions with individuals of both the same and different political persuasions. Participants must identify as “red” (Republican or leaning conservative) or “blue” (Democrat or leaning liberal). We will strive for an equal balance of red and blue participants: 4 to 8 people on each side.\nObserver/Alternate: An observer/alternate will not participate in the discussions directly but will have the opportunity to watch and listen. Observers/Alternates should be ready to step in and participate as their “color” in the event of participant cancellations. In areas that have a geographic “color” imbalance\, allowing for up to 15 Observers/Alternates provides an opportunity for more people to experience a Red/Blue workshop. Observers/Alternates have found observing a workshop to be amazingly valuable.\n\nWho can come? Anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of\, and connection with\, people whose political beliefs differ from their own. You should honestly be able to answer “yes” to the following question: \n“Are you willing to listen to the other side\, and are you willing to speak to the other side with respect?” \nEveryone who signs up will receive a phone call or email from an organizer. Organizers reserve the right to switch people between Participant and Observer/Alternate status depending on the needs of the workshop. \nQuestions? Contact the Event Organizer below. \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is a free event brought to you by Braver Angels as part of our mission to depolarize America. Braver Angels is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We invite you to consider a gift to Braver Angels; all donations are tax deductible.  Your support will allow us to offer more workshops and debates with the ultimate goal of uniting America. Click here to donate. \n** This event is open to the media upon approval. Send requests to press@braverangels.org

Preserve important family bonds while staying true to your values. \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nFamily relationships can become casualties of a toxic political environment.

You’ll laugh and have some fun in this workshop—it won’t be all serious.

SUMMARY:Oregon Rural/Urban Project Town Hall: Hood River OR
DESCRIPTION:Local Focus: Hood River Oregon and greater Hood River County Oregon \nAs part of Braver Angels’ effort to reduce political polarization among Oregonians\, our Rural/Urban Project Town Hall brings Oregonians together to identify issues dividing rural and urban residents. This series of information-gathering Town Halls\, to be conducted throughout the state\, will be followed by “Common Ground Discussions” where rural and urban folks can together explore the issues and seek out bridge-building policy recommendations. We will then collect those recommendations and present them to the Legislature. \nWe encourage community leaders to attend the Town Halls with an eye toward representing their communities in the (future) Common Ground Discussions. We especially encourage young adults to attend the Town Halls and consider participating in the conversation as they represent both the future of Oregon’s rural and urban communities and our citizens’ efforts to reduce the burdens of the rural/urban divide. We welcome all Oregonians of good will to join us in this project! \n** This event is open to the media upon approval. Send requests to press@braverangels.org

SUMMARY:Oregon Rural/Urban Project Town Hall: Wasco County OR
DESCRIPTION:Local Focus: Hood River Oregon and greater Hood River County Oregon \nAs part of Braver Angels’ effort to reduce political polarization among Oregonians\, our Rural/Urban Project Town Hall brings Oregonians together to identify issues dividing rural and urban residents. This series of information-gathering Town Halls\, to be conducted throughout the state\, will be followed by “Common Ground Discussions” where rural and urban folks can together explore the issues and seek out bridge-building policy recommendations. We will then collect those recommendations and present them to the Legislature. \nWe encourage community leaders to attend the Town Halls with an eye toward representing their communities in the (future) Common Ground Discussions. We especially encourage young adults to attend the Town Halls and consider participating in the conversation as they represent both the future of Oregon’s rural and urban communities and our citizens’ efforts to reduce the burdens of the rural/urban divide. We welcome all Oregonians of good will to join us in this project! \n** This event is open to the media upon approval. Send requests to press@braverangels.org
