DIVIDED WE FALL
FREE Film Screening & Discussion
Sunday, May 26th ~ 3pm to 6pm
This film reveals ordinary people wrestling with what it truly means to be an American, the divides that prevent unity, and what we can do to bridge the gaps.
In 2018, the participants ~ equal numbers of Reds and Blues ~ break out of partisan echo chambers to listen to one another.
In 2022, they come together again to talk about how the experience impacted them.

DEPOLARIZING WITHIN
We risk fueling the fire that threatens our country
by how we talk about people who hold different political views.
Want to understand how to talk differently?
Why?
Because we need to find a solution to our nation’s big problems ~
we cannot do that if we see the “other side” as enemies or strangers.
There is a lot of stress these days among families and friends
who are divided politically.
Process:
Learn what is involved in developing attitudes, words, and using ways to talk with folks on the “other” side with whom we share a national past and future.
Goals:
Discover how to be more aware of your own “inner polarizations”; learn how to be critical without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping; understand how to handle political and social conversations with peers when these turn to contempt or
ridicule for people with different views. https://braverangels.org/
