Braver Angels SLO Alliance: CA Debates Prop 50!

A Braver Angels debate is about the heart as much as the head. It's a highly structured conversation in which a group of people think together, listen to one another carefully and with curiosity, and allow themselves to be touched by each other’s ideas. It's not a political debate, nor is it like your high school debate club. It's our own depolarizing debate system, and it works best when we embrace our uncertainty and parse the shades of grey together. When we manage to do this, we walk out of a Braver Angels debate a little closer to the truth, more aware of the sincere and sympathetic feelings of our political opponents, with our relationships a little stronger. We will have four starting speakers, two For, and two Against. They alternate presenting short 5-8 minutes speeches followed by questions addressed to the Chair. After all the speakers, the audience has an opportunity to contribute. Individuals may give a short speech and answer clarifying questions. All very civil and respectful, and very interesting, often surprising to find you might agree with something you never thought you would agree with. It’s most definitely an opportunity to learn. Come experience a Braver Angels debate. Hear the arguments on both sides of the redistricting issue. Learn about Prop 50, the ballot measure put before the voters in November to decide if California voters will override their fair and independent redistricting laws in order to counter the partisan gerrymandering being done in Texas. It's an important issue facing us all.
