Join the Conversation: A ‘Braver Angels’ Debate

In this highly participatory Democracy360 session, you’re invited to take part in a Braver Angels debate—a structured dialogue in which students and community members explore opposing views with respect, curiosity, and a spirit of shared learning. Together, participants debate a resolution connected to the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. No prior debate experience is necessary—just a willingness to listen, speak, and learn.
