Braver Angels invites variety of perspectives to March 22 Zoom meeting

With the horrible news about the Russian attack on Ukraine, there have also been examples of the world-wide community coming together to find a solution to the problem of a small country being invaded by a larger military superpower. 

That unity is demonstrated locally with Braver Angels, a national organization created in 2016 to help bridge political divides by fostering respectful conversation. Instead of seeking to change minds, its goals include finding common ground around an identified problem, and cultivating that common ground to find solutions.

Participants report that they appreciate the opportunity to air their thoughts without fear of reprisal, recrimination, or damaging relationships.

The New Hampshire Alliance of Braver Angels provides a platform for discussing current local and national events, fostering candid conversation in a respectful manner, and — when possible — collaborating on solutions that individuals can bring to community or state leaders. Topics for discussion and the process to be followed are developed by the local participants under the guidance of a volunteer steering committee.

The next Braver Angels of NH Alliance meeting will be held via Zoom on March 22, 7-8:30 p.m. The topic is "Energy Resilience in NH in response to events in Ukraine." The group welcomes and supports different perspectives, and needs all perspectives represented in order to achieve their goal of balancing thoughts and opinions.
