Finding Common Ground on Polarizing Issues: Braver Angels Trustworthy Elections Project

When: Friday, April 24th 7:00pm-9:00pm

Where: American Legion Post #28 at 31768 Legion Rd, Millsboro, DE 19966 or attend via Zoom

Are you worried that your vote doesn’t count because elections are rigged? Are you convinced the “other side” has co-opted the electoral system? 

Citizens across the political spectrum distrust our electoral system for vastly different reasons, from voter fraud and suppression to security and the peaceful transfer of power.

Braver Angels, the nation’s largest volunteer-led movement to bridge the partisan divide, has worked to rebuild this trust by seeking solutions supported by citizens of all political persuasions. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents came together to find common ground with a shared belief in free and fair elections, the bedrock of our democracy.

Come learn about the Trustworthy Elections Initiative to see how we can work together to bridge the partisan divide that has polarized our nation.

Depolarizing Within: A Workshop on Developing Skills for Civil Engagement

When: Tuesday, May 5th and Thursday, May 7th, 2026 5:00pm-7:00pm

Where: Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Newark at 420 Willa Road, Newark, DE 19711

Our country is more divided than ever, with too many of us isolated from and antagonistic toward those who hold different views. This division damages our communities, disrupts our families, and stops us from working together for the common good.

Depolarizing Within can help you bridge this divide by looking at your own attitudes towards the political “other.” During this two-part workshop, you will…

•  Become more aware of your own “inner polarizer.”

•  Learn how to criticize viewpoints without stereotyping, dismissing, ridiculing, and holding contempt for those who disagree with you.

•  Develop ways to speak up in polarizing conversations with peers about people on the other political side.

•  Do a self-assessment exercise, learn to counteract your inner polarizer, and practice communication skills to avoid polarizing conversations.
