Braver Angels

No! You’re the solution! But are you unintentionally making it harder for the other side to hear you? Let’s find out!

Geneva Winery & Tasting Room

<h3>Sponsored by: Indivisible Fox Valley Rising</h3> Agenda:<ul><li>Meet and Greet: 6-6:30</li><li>Program: 6:30-8</li><li>Q&amp;A : 8 to 8:30</li></ul> In this interactive—and often surprising—workshop, you’ll learn how to spot your own "inner polarizer," how to challenge positions and policies without dismissing people and how to intervene constructively when your own circle falls into well-meaning but counterproductive pitfalls.Note: This Free event is to be attended in person (Promo Code: "BRAVER").Polarization is fueled by how we talk about those on the other side of an issue. Too often, we ridicule, dismiss, or stereotype our fellow citizens. When Braver Angels addresses “polarization,” we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are addressing how we regard and talk about large groups of people -- people who happen to be on the other side of the political aisle.GoalsIn this session participants will learn:<ul><li>How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”</li><li>How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population</li></ul>Who Can Attend?Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.*Tickets are Free, Donations Help As a spam prevention measure, you must use promo code BRAVER during registration to secure your spot in the workshop.
