Unmuted x Braver Angels in the Park: The Value and Costs of Compromise

​Central Park, Snacks & Seltzers Provided

​In today’s politics, compromise is often sold as the cure. It's the way to bridge divides and keep democracy moving. Is that always true? Some argue that without compromise, nothing gets done. Others say compromise just means watering down convictions until nothing meaningful is left. In a moment when so many feel the stakes are existential, what’s the real value of meeting in the middle?

​Join us in Central Park with Braver Angels for an open-air conversation on the promises and pitfalls of compromise. Can common ground make the country stronger, or does it weaken our principles? Where’s the line between productive negotiation and betrayal of what you believe? And when do we say its betrayal just because actually engaging is hard work? Expect honest dialogue, tough questions, snacks and seltzers, and a chance to wrestle with one of democracy’s oldest tensions.

​Republican, Democrat, or something else? Sick of social media fights and unrelenting negativity? This is the place for thoughtful, safe discussions without judgment.
