Bridging the red-blue political divide

Let's Start a Conversation - Not a Fight
A Better Angels Red/Blue Workshop
Presenters: Linda Scher and David Kreisman, Better Angels Certified Moderators

An innovative workshop designed to bring together people of different political perspectives in a structured conversation.  Goals include: to better understand the beliefs and experiences of others while also sharing your own, to find commonalities and understand differences, and to bring what we learn back to our communities

Who can come? Anyone interested in having better conversations with people on the other side of the political aisle.  For the purposes of this workshop, we will ask you to define yourself as “Red” (a person who leans conservative and tends to vote Republican) or “Blue” ( a person who leans liberal and tends to vote Democratic). Independents are welcome, but you will be asked to identify as red-leaning or blue-leaning.  We also have a certain number of observer spaces available.
