Braver's Angels, Southern Willamette Valley Alliance is presenting an interactive workshop focused on skill building designed to foster improved communication with family, friends and the community at large who are on the other political side.
At this politically polarized point in history, we are reminded of a time in history where our country was deeply divided. The foundational inspiration for the creation of Braver Angels was the words of Abraham Lincoln in his first inaugural address where he implored the citizens to call upon their Better Angels.
Many of us have become hesitant to speak about our beliefs for fear of losing close relationships. Braver Angels, a non-partisan organization mission is committed to unite a divided nation through education, trainings and community events.
Please join us for our monthly workshops to learn more about our organization and how you can harness the healing power of your Braver Angels.

Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory is a historical drama based on the true story of young women who worked as dial painters in the 1920s and were poisoned by the radium-based paint they used, leading to a fight for justice against their employer, the U.S. Radium Corporation. The play follows dial painter Grace Fryer as she and other sick workers sue the company, highlighting themes of corporate responsibility, workers' rights, and the commercialization of science, all while showing the devastating health effects of radium exposure, such as bone disintegration.
