Dinner and Discussion at Mimi's
Embedded Files
Join us for our monthly dinner/discussion. We will have a special guest speaker this month: Natalie Figueroa, New Mexico State Senator representing District 18.
Natalie will talk us through the four New Mexico constitutional amendments on the upcoming November 3 General Election ballot. She'll help us understand the process by which they came to be, and then we can also discuss their pros and cons with her input.
The New Mexico Legislature publishes an official analysis and arguments for and against each of the four amendments. If you would like to learn more before the discussion you can read the publication here.
Come for the discussion at 7:00pm, even if you aren't able to make the meal time at 6:00pm.

We state our views freely and fully, without fear.
We treat people who disagree with us with honesty, dignity and respect.
We welcome opportunities to engage those with whom we disagree.
We believe all of us have blind spots and none of us are not worth talking to.
We seek to disagree accurately, avoiding exaggeration and stereotypes.
We look for common ground where it exists and, if possible, find ways to work together.
In Braver Angels, neither side is teaching the other or giving feedback on how to think or say things differently.
We believe that, in disagreements, both sides share and learn.
Braver Bridge Builders
We will NOT meet at our usual location!
This month's Braver Bridge Builders meeting will be held at Manzano del Sol and will feature an introductory presentation of Braver Angels.
If you are already familiar with our organization we encourage you to attend and interact with other attendees. When you enter the building let them know at the front desk that you are there for the Braver Angels presentation and you will be directed to the meeting room.

The point of our debates is not to win an argument but to understand the other side a little better. We use a special parliamentary debate format to encourage everyone to participate, to support good faith, accurate disagreement, and to promote better understanding for all. They are always led by a specially trained Debate Chair.
Community Debate
Resolved: Amend the New Mexico State Constitution to provide legislators a salary equal to the state's annual median household income.
Is a $67,800 salary, in addtion to per diem and a pension reasonable? Will a salary diversify the pool of potential legislators? Come share your view and learn from other views.
Learn more about the amendment from the NM Legislative Council Services publication here.
