The Election is Nearly Here
With the election only days away, the concern of more divisiveness is acute. The East-Central Illinois Alliance has put together an Election Toolkit in their latest edition of "Braver Conversations."
And soon after the election, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. If you are concerned about how politics may affect your family gatherings, the Illinois Zoom Alliance is hosting an online "Families & Politics" workshop on Sunday, November 17th at 4:00 PM. You can register at this eventbrite page.
The Braver Angels Alliance of East-Central Illinois has a new regular column Braver Conversations that runs in the Champaign, IL newspaper, The News-Gazette. Learn more about Braver Conversations, and submit column suggestions or questions by clicking here.

Building a House United
Launched in 2016, Braver Angels is a national citizens' movement to bring liberals, conservatives and others together at the grassroots level - not to find centrist compromise, but to find one another as citizens.
Braver Angels seeks to depolarize American politics. Our work is rooted in grassroots organizing. From the grassroots however, our volunteer leaders (supported by a small staff) leverage Braver Angels programs and unique organizing structure to impact community life and American institutions.
Citizens across Illinois are joining this movement to depolarize our politics. Chicagoland and Downstate; Urban and Rural; Liberals and Conservatives; Red and Blue; we are coming together in respect and civility, because we all want what is best for our country and our state.
