Steps along the Alliance Journey Pathway

As proven community leaders, Rotarians have a crucial role to play in depolarizing the country. Here’s what you can do.

First, invite us to present “Becoming Braver Angels” – the introduction to Braver Angels. Click here

Second, host a Braver Angels workshop and invite your City Council, Mayor, Chamber of Commerce, Faith Organizations, and other service organizations to participate. Workshop topics include:

• Depolarizing Within – Teaches participants to look within and develop strategies for engaging politics without demonizing, and how to constructively intervene in social conversations with like-minded peers.
• The Red/Blue Workshop – Brings together a small, evenly divided group of “Reds” and “Blues,” for a series of exercises designed to help participants clarify disagreements, reduce stereotyped thinking, and discover common values.
• Skills for Bridging the Partisan Divide – Helps participants navigate difficult political conversations with people in their life. Teaches how to talk across the divide in a constructive, empathetic way.

Third, build a Braver Angels Alliance by involving other community members. This brings together Reds, Blues, Purples and others to explore common values.

Fourth, progress to the Common Ground workshop. Your locally focused Braver Angels Alliance is now ready to take on an issue facing your community and address it using the skills and strategies learned through Braver Angels.
