So, we&#x27;d urge you to come to the debate with your strongest arguments, but also with this question in mind: What do I need to learn from the other side in this debate in order to talk to someone I know who I disagree with?Join Braver Angels Thurs May 19 @ 8 pm EST for a debate on the topic – &quot;Resolved: The rights of an adult woman take precedence over the rights of a fetus.&quot;Come join us for this free national debate, in which all participants from across the ideological spectrum will have an opportunity to speak and ask their questions.

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.
