Civic Discourse Series

The Civic Discourse Series addresses the need of citizens to hear the different viewpoints on a specific topic from speakers from distinct and different perspectives. Speakers bring subject area expertise on the topic, and they can be non-BA members. The intent of this format is to have the audience get a deeper understanding on an issue beyond the media one-liners, and to provide a platform to attract membership to Braver Angels.
