Ashland Meet-up - "Pints and Patriotism"

Monday, July 14, 2025

7:00-8:30 p.m.

11293 Air Park Rd, Ashland

Join us for our informal meet-up to learn more about Braver Angels, engage in respectful conversation, and meet fellow citizens from across the political spectrum committed to the health of our democratic republic.

Our theme is "Pints and Patriotism” and will focus on "What does patriotism mean to you?" and "What are your hopes for our country's future?"

After a brief introduction to Braver Angels, we will facilitate an exploration of our theme for about 1 hour, letting participants voluntarily share their thoughts without interruption while others listen. To wrap up, we will seek to summarize common themes expressed and use the remaining time for informal conversations and socializing. Feel free to come and go as your schedule allows.

Come share your thoughts and listen to others to find common ground. This event is open to everyone and pre-registration is strongly encouraged as space is limited.

Let's Talk About...Healthcare (Monthly Alliance Meeting)

Wednesday, July 23, 2025

7:00-8:30 p.m.

Online (Zoom) - Register here

Are we satisfied with how we deliver healthcare in the US? Is there a basic level of care that we should make available for all? Come hear a range of perspectives and contribute your own views on who should have access to healthcare, who should pay for it, and how we ensure quality. How do our different approaches reflect deeper beliefs about things like personal responsibility, collective action, and the role of institutions in American life?
