Note: This free* event is to be attended in person. It is co-hosted by: Minnesota Braver Angels, League of Women Voters of White Bear Lake Area, Rotary Club of White Bear Lake, and White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce.

What it's About

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.

Goals

In this 1.5 hour session participants will learn:

  • How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”
  • How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population

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. Donations beyond the free ticket support Braver Angels, 501(c)3. Braver Angels does not ask for a donation if the participant is making one to their faith organization.

Questions? Contact Morgan Holle at mholle@braverangels.org
