Braver Angels: Southern Willamette Valley Alliance is a chapter of the National Braver Angels organization. We are working in our local community (Eugene, Springfield, and 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 get past the destructive stereotypes so we can better understand one another and problem-solve real issues. We hope you will join us!
Upcoming Events
Wednesday, September 24th Time: 6-7:30 pm Local Alliance Meeting (Monthly)
