Braver Angels: Southern Willamette Valley Alliance is a chapter of the National Braver Angels organization. We are working in our local community of Eugene, Springfield, and the surrounding areas of Lane County, to bring people of different political perspectives together for communication workshops, discussions, and public presentations designed to bridge the polarizing political divide we experience in our country. These events allow conservatives and liberals to move past the destructive stereotypes so we can better understand one another and problem-solve real issues. We hope you will join us!
