Guest commentary: ‘Braver Angels’ encourages civil discourse

In Braver Angels, we don’t seek to change anyone’s mind, but to create an environment where people from across the political spectrum can honestly and passionately express their viewpoints, while still recognizing the fundamental humanity of the people with whom they disagree. No one is asked to compromise their viewpoint, but rather we seek to arrive at “honest disagreement,” where we understand each other’s perspectives, even if we don’t agree with them.

Would you like to learn more about how this could work here in the Columbia River Gorge? Contact rachel@braverangels.org or dwroof17@gmail.com for information or, better yet, visit with us at Crosscut Cafe in Carson on Feb. 10 between 10 a.m. and noon.
