Gov't Cost Cutting - If Not Now, WHEN? If Not DOGE, WHAT?
(Berkey/Oakland/San Francisco)
Sunday, March 23 · 4 - 6pm PDT
ONLINE
Our country is in an uproar!!!
From coast to coast communities are ablaze with talk about the Trump administration's tactics to curb government spending and reduce the federal debt. Many think what we are seeing is great and long overdue and others are ready to storm the ramparts.
How do we get to common ground about the expectation that our country should better manage its budget? How do we do that without somebody's ox being gored?
Is there any hope of arriving at consensus about how to manage the national debt given the deep divide in our country?
Let's explore this problem in a forum that is congenial towards disagreements: a Braver Angels Zoom breakout room.
Sunday, March 23, at 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM.
Here are the breakout room questions:
What would you cut, if anything?
Which will work - the scalpel or the chainsaw?
Do we threaten the security of the babyboomers or do we steal from the future of our grandchildren? Where do your values lead you?

Depolarizing Within
(Sonoma County Braver Angels)
Saturday, April 26 · 2 - 5pm PDT
IN PERSON
Note: This Free event is to be attended in person. (Promo code: BRAVER). You will not need physical or virtual tickets in order to attend this event.
Polarization can be driven by how we talk with like-minded people about those on the other side. Too often, we stereotype, dismiss, or ridicule our fellow citizens who support the other political party, its leaders, and its policies.
This *FREE* 3 hour in-person workshop teaches participants:
How to be more aware of their own "inner polarizer"
How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population
How to constructively intervene in polarizing social conversations with like-minded people.
Who can come? Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.
This event is IN PERSON at the Sonoma Valley Regional Library, Sonoma. For details and registration, click below:
