Is the American Dream still possible? Share your ideas and listen to others in this community event hosted by Braver Angels Mid-Willamette Valley Alliance.

Join us for our next debate on Wednesday, October 21, 6pm at the Philomath Museum (1101 Main Street, Philomath). Presented in partnership with the LBCC Civil Discourse Program and Benton County Museums. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞

Is the American Dream still achievable? Americans are increasingly divided over the answer. Some see opportunity, hard work, and upward mobility as central to the American experience, while others believe the dream has become increasingly out of reach. Join us for a Braver Angels debate as people with different perspectives come together to explore what the American Dream means today and whether it remains within reach.

Free! RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/resolved-the-american-dream-is-still-achievable-registration-1998984937760?aff=oddtdtcreator&discount=BRAVER
