About this Event
The November election has brought to light a division between working-class people and the “elite”, generally meaning the college-educated. Braver Angels has addressed this divide by forming a “We the People” caucus to represent workers, and has produced a number of videos with speakers to that end. We will watch portions of a video and also hear from Matt Wood of the local AFL-CIO.
We The People’s Forums are an opportunity for the people who make this country function everyday--the important people who are not politicians, or talking heads on screens, or opinion writers in the big newspapers–- to make their voices heard.
Here's how it works:
First part: our first speakers talk about their experiences and perspectives, their concerns about their own positions, and what they see in common.
Second part: it's Q and E time: anyone may ask a question, and anyone with direct experience on the issue is encouraged to talk about their experience.
This event is open to the general public.
Our first speakers include:
