Minnesota Braver Angels from around the state are invited to join us for a monthly Open House (OH?) on Zoom. Your state coordinators want to know what’s on your mind. Bring your curious questions to share about political polarization. If there’s time, we'd like to hear your thoughts for 2025 and what discussions, events, skills training, messaging, etc. could be helpful for us as Minnesotans wanting to bridge the divides.


Whether you’re a seasoned member or new to Braver Angels, this is a casual event that offers connection with other Minnesotans interested in bridging the political divide and what we hope will be a thoughtful discussion that makes a difference for you. All are welcome!


*Tickets are Free, Donations Help Use promo code BRAVER during registration to get a free ticket. Donations beyond the free ticket support Braver Angels, 501(c)3.

Feb. 18 - Ely Alliance - Exploration of Patriotic Topic: Saying the Pledge of Allegiance

Tuesday, Feb. 18, 6 p.m.
Minnesota North Vermillion, Classroom 109 


Ely Alliance of Braver Angels will explore the highly current topic of where and when to say the Pledge of Allegiance. A brief introduction of the history of the Pledge of  Allegiance will be presented.


The large group will then break into smaller groups to discuss this topic and other expressions of patriotism. They will work together in the spirit of listening and being listened to without the pressure of trying to convince each other or change each other’s mind.

Everyone is welcome to join in the conversation or to listen and observe. As always, there will be an abundance of cookies and beverages.

To learn more about Braver Angels, please visit the website for the national organization at braverangels.org or go to the Ely Alliance Braver Angels Facebook page. The goal is to learn how to disagree without being disagreeable.
