At Braver Angels, we dig into tough political conversations and go at the heart of controversial issues—without it going off the rails. How is that possible? You’ll have to see for yourself.

We’ll hear speakers from across the political spectrum, including Elizabeth Spiers (The New York Times), Mike Carter (Newsmax), Cathy Young (The Bulwark), James Lalino (formerly Project Veritas), Lucian Wintrich (former White House Correspondent), and more. Audience members will have an opportunity to ask questions.

Important to note:

  • Doors will open at 5:15 PM, and the event will start promptly at 6:00 PM sharp
  • This will be hosted at Comedy Cellar Village Underground (130 w 3rd St)
  • The event is free, but there will be a two-item minimum

Questions? Email Gabbi Timmis at gtimmis@braverangels.org and Brent Morden at bmorden@braverangels.org.

You probably haven’t experienced anything like a Braver Angels Debate. This is a highly structured conversation in which a group of people think together, listen carefully to one another, and allow themselves to be touched and perhaps changed by each other’s ideas. When done well, everyone walks out a little closer to the truth, more aware of the validity in opposing views, and with tighter community relationships.
