Join us for a respectful and engaging discussion of The American Centrist: A Moderate Manifesto with author Brent Jones, who will be joining us in person.

At a time of deep political division, this book explores the role of the political “middle” and the value of dialogue, compromise, and practical solutions. In the spirit of Braver Angels, we’ll come together to exchange perspectives, ask questions, and practice constructive conversation across differences.

All are welcome—whether you’ve read the book or are simply curious. Come ready to listen, share, and engage.

At this month's meeting we will explore the topic of American values.  Our current polarized climate might suggest we have deep disagreements about American values. But what exactly are American values? Do they derive from our founding documents, so you look to “the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”? Or the Constitution and Bill of Rights -- protecting the rights of individuals from government overreach, foreign threats and the passions of the people. Or do they derive from something else entirely? 

Come prepared to share one to three core values that you think are values that most Americans (except those in the extreme edges) share.  Let’s see if together we can rediscover our shared American values.

Please feel free to bring a lunch or meet afterwards at a local restaurant.
