PROGRAM: “Braver Angels Approach”
 
Our speaker will be Ruth Lunde, with the Braver Angels organization.  The April 19th program will be at the Hopkins Public Library, 22 11th Ave N, Hopkins, MN 55343.

Ruth Lunde will be discussing polarization in today's world and how Braver Angels works to help have more meaningful conversations between those with opposing viewpoints. Ruth is also a member of the LWV (just not our chapter).
Braver Angels mission is to create the conditions for citizens who disagree with each other to have respectful and powerful conversations across the political divide. They provide speakers to organizations that want to learn about Braver Angels; offer workshops and other kinds of in-person events; hold occasional statewide online events and support local alliances or chapters so people can meet in person.

These events allow conservatives and liberals to develop, enhance and practice skills that get past destructive stereotypes. We hold that respectful conversations lead to productive problem-solving, renewed goodwill and stronger bonds within local communities. As these skills develop, people are empowered to listen respectfully to other viewpoints and to express themselves fully such that the other side hears and understands them. In some cases, these conversations lead to common ground.

Currently, we have six local alliances (or chapters) in various parts of the state with more under development. Every two weeks or so, we email a brief newsletter to about 2,800 Minnesota subscribers and members. National Braver Angels also sends a periodic newsletter and notifications of online events. Subscribe to the national newsletter and state newsletter.
