Delaware Alliance Meeting and Bridge-Building Practice
When: Tuesday September 8th, 2026 at 7:00 – 8:00 PM
Where: Zoom - link provided upon registration
Build Your Confidence. Practice the Skills. Stay Grounded in Difficult Conversations.
Join us for a one-hour gathering designed to keep you connected, informed, and growing in your Braver Angels skills.
We’ll begin with approximately 15 minutes of updates on what’s new at Braver Angels, followed by 45 minutes of hands-on conversational bridge-building practice. Through guided exercises, thoughtful conversations, and realistic role-plays, you’ll strengthen your ability to listen, ask meaningful questions, acknowledge different perspectives, and share your own views effectively.
Whether you identify as Red, Blue, independent, or somewhere in between, this is a welcoming place to practice navigating disagreement with greater confidence. Come sharpen your skills, learn alongside others, and become better prepared to stay calm, curious, and connected when conversations get challenging.
Common Ground Workshop on Immigration
Common Ground Workshop on Immigration
When: Saturday, September 26, 2026 @ 10:00am - 3:30pm EDT (Lunch provided.)
Where: Friends Meeting House, 122 E Camden Wyoming Ave, Camden, DE 19934
“Are you willing to listen to the other side, and are you willing to speak to the other side with respect?”
This workshop is part of the overall Braver Angels Citizens Commission on Immigration. Delaware residents are invited to have a thoughtful conversation about the issue, share their experiences and opinions, and flesh out any points of agreement. When possible, these workshops lead to joint “Red/Blue” actions such as op-eds or meetings with legislators.
Primary Workshop Goals
Delve into a single issue where citizens differ, and learn how each side sees the problem
Delineate areas of common ground and points of agreement
Discover insights that might be helpful to others in our community and the nation
Participants will engage in four exercises designed to identify personal connections to the issue, policy stances, discovering common ground, and finding unanimous Points of Agreement. Participants will then discuss next steps to promote their findings. Findings from workshops around the nation and other related initiatives will inform the Report to the Nation, which will be published in 2027.
Due to attendance limitations, you are not guaranteed a seat. However, you will have the option to be put on a waiting list.

Become a Courageous Citizen Amid the Politics of Contempt – Interactive Book Discussion
When: Wednesday, October 14, 7:00 - 8:30 PM EDT
Where: Zoom - link provided upon registration
Join co-authors Doug Teschner and Beth Malow for an engaging, interactive conversation about their award-winning book, Beyond the Politics of Contempt: Practical Steps to Build Positive Relationships in Divided Times.
Offered as part of Peace Week Delaware 2026, this 90-minute live event invites participants to explore how each of us can help build a more peaceful and constructive civic culture—even when political differences run deep.
Doug and Beth will share key ideas from the book and offer practical strategies for changing the way we talk, listen, disagree, build relationships, and participate in civic life—helping us move beyond contempt and toward greater understanding and connection.
Through guided discussion and skill-building exercises, participants will practice approaches that strengthen curiosity, critical thinking, humility, and genuine understanding across differences.
Come prepared to participate, reflect, and leave with practical tools you can use in your own conversations, relationships, and communities. Ample time will be provided for audience questions and discussion.
Raising the Next Generation of Citizens
Raising the Next Generation of Citizens
Because democracy isn't simply inherited - It's passed from one generation to the next.
A Free Five-Session Conversation Series for Parents, Grandparents & Caring Adults
in partnership with the Braver Angels Delaware Alliance
Where will the young people in your life learn what it means to be a citizen?
At school? Online? From friends? Or perhaps from you?
Join a small group of parents, grandparents, and other caring adults for a five-session, nonpartisan conversation series inspired by Lindsey Cormack's “How to Raise a Citizen”.
This isn't a class or traditional book club. We'll talk, share experiences, and explore practical ways to help young people become more thoughtful, informed, and engaged citizens, without telling them what to think.
Our Five 90-minute Conversations Schedule:
SEPTEMBER 30th 7-8:30PM – ASK - What kind of citizen do I hope to help raise?”
OCTOBER: 28th 7-8:30PM – LISTEN - How can we talk about difficult issues while encouraging young people to think for themselves?
NOVEMBER: 18th - 7-8:30PM – EXPLORE - Invite a child, grandchild, or other young person to accompany you when you vote—not to vote themselves, but to observe democracy in action, ask questions, and talk about what they experienced.
DECEMBER: 30th - 7-8:30PM – PARTICIPATE - How can we show young people that citizenship is something we do—not just something we learn about?
JANUARY: 27th - 7-8:30PM – CONTINUE - How can we make civic conversation and participation an ongoing part of our lives?
Your commitment:
• Buy or borrow the book: “How to Raise a Citizen” • Do the reading and watch the video • Take a young person to vote with you • Attend all five meetings • Give feedback.
