Bipartisan group to teach Mesa County residents skills for having difficult political conversations.Grand Junction, Colorado – On September 20, October 18, and November 14, 2026, Braver Angels will hold free workshops at Grand Valley UU - 536 Ouray Avenue, designed to teach skills for having political conversations across the divide.
In today’s polarized environment, political conversations often turn angry and counterproductive. Braver Angels skills help people listen and understand without arguing to build trust, clarify disagreements, and find common ground based on common values and humanity.
Interested members of the press should reach out to Maya Kraushaar for details to observe the workshops.
Launched in 2016, Braver Angels is a non-profit bipartisan citizen’s movement to unify America. By bringing Red and Blue Americans together into a working alliance, Braver Angels is building new ways to talk to one another, participate together in public life, and influence the direction of the nation.
Recent polls show that a majority of Americans feel our country is more divided than ever, and increasingly view members of the opposite political party as not just wrong—but bad people. At the same time, Americans are increasingly divided into bubbles and echo chambers with limited exposure to “the other side,” consuming news that confirms their opinions and stereotypes.
By creating opportunities for meaningful discussions, Braver Angels works to dial down the heated rhetoric that gets in the way of real conversations and accurate understanding of our differences. The objective is not to push an agenda or change participants’ minds, but rather to provide a safe place for deeper understanding.
