Families & Politics Workshop

Are some of your dearest relationships strained by the political divide? You're not alone.

"As we separate into groups that increasingly do not even know, or interact with, people of differing opinions, we lose trust in our institutions, eroding the ability to govern ourselves and lowering the caliber of citizenship. This growing trend coarsens public debate, produces policy gridlock, shrinks our capacity for goodwill, and harms our family and personal relationships. Effective self government depends precisely on what this type of polarization destroys. We believe the American Experiment can survive and thrive for every American who contributes to the effort. Where we go from here is up to us." 

Braver Angels is one of the nation's leading organizations for addressing the political divide, and they are coming all the way to Dodgeville to lead this interactive workshop about Families and Politics. 

The goals of the workshop are:

1. A deeper understanding of why family differences over politics are uniquely challenging.
2. Insight into the common roles that family members play when political conversations go badly.
3. Strategies and skills for dealing with family political differences in a constructive way.

Registration is required through EVENTBRITE! 

The first 20 people who RSVP and participate in the workshops will receive a FREE one-year membership to Braver Angels. This event is made possible by grant funding.
