Session description:
The Braver Angels Community Forum on Immigration is a gathering that creates space for reflection, storytelling, and connection across diverse experiences and viewpoints. The forum begins with 2-4 ideologically diverse panelists sharing what's at the heart of the immigration issue for them, along with their ideas for improving the U.S. immigration system. Attendees in the audience then engage in a one-to-one brief conversation with each other about the same questions. The Forum follows the Braver Angels Way: individuals speak freely and fully without fear, and treat people who disagree with them with honesty, dignity, and respect.   The Braver Angels Community Forum on Immigration is a gathering that creates space for reflection, storytelling, and connection across diverse experiences and viewpoints.
