Community Civil Conversations: Carroll County
Braver Angels Arkansas in Carroll County invites you to join us for our monthly meeting on Sunday, November 23rd, from 3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., at Gotahold Brewery, 409 West Van Buren, in Eureka Springs (NEW LOCATION!) Each month we meet to discuss ways to respectfully engage with folks who have perspectives that are different from our own.
At November meetings, our topic will be “Who are Our Trusted Messengers?”. Participants are encouraged to share the news and information sources they rely on to be informed citizens and voters. We’ll also take some time to share how our Thanksgiving holiday fared with the implementation of the skills we learned from the “Families and Politics” workshop.
Our meetings are open to everyone, regardless of political affiliation. We seek to promote respectful conversation and community building, especially with folks who have perspectives that are different than our own. No registration is required to attend.
