Alliance meetings are held monthly on the fourth Wednesday from 6pm to 8pm. We alternate between holding them in Corvallis and Albany. While we scout permanent locations, please check this page for this month's location – we will post details as soon as they are set.
All are welcome at Alliance meetings, but we do presume attendees are familiar with Braver Angels' mission and vision, and The Braver Angels Way.
Questions? Email us at mid-willamette-valley@braverangels.org.
Our final Alliance Meeting of 2026 will take place Wednesday, October 28 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at the Benton Community Foundation - Jordan Leadership and Learning Center in Corvallis. This month we'll watch a video conversation from the Cato Institute: How Hard Is It to Rig an American Election? Then we'll continue the discussion about trustworthy elections. Attendance in September is not required to participate this month. RSVP here!
Join us for a free, day-long intensive workshop that brings together Red (conservative or Republican-leaning) and Blue (liberal or Democratic-leaning) citizens for moderated activities and structured discussions that reduce stereotyped thinking, clarify disagreements, build relationships and find common ground through listening and learning rather than declaring and debating. The workshop will take place in Albany on Saturday, November 7 from 9:00am - 5:00pm.
Anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of, and connection with, people whose political beliefs differ from their own is welcome. There are two ways to join a Red/Blue Workshop: as a Participant or as an Observer.
Participants engage in small - and large - group discussions with individuals of both the same and different political persuasions. Participants identify as “red” or “blue” leaning. There will be an equal balance of red and blue participants: 6 to 8 people on each side.
Observers watch and listen, but do not participate in the discussions.
Registration is required. Because we have limited seats in this workshop, please do not register unless you can commit to attending. We will contact you after you register to discuss details specific to this workhsop. If you have questions, please contact jsaam@braverangels.org.
