February National Monthly Meeting

Our guest speaker for the February Meeting is William J. Doherty, Ph.D., Co-founder of Braver Angels. Bill has built a lifetime of work around helping people bridge deep divides. A co-founder of Braver Angels, Bill is the chief designer of the organization’s foundational workshops that bring Americans together across political differences to restore trust, understanding, and healthy democratic dialogue.
Bill is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota. As a therapist, he focuses on couples on the brink of divorce and on political stress in relationships. Among his awards is the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Family Therapy Academy. He has authored 14 books for professionals and the public.
Bill has long been devoted to reconciliation and what he calls the “mechanics of the soul” — the emotional and relational work that allows people to face conflict without dehumanizing one another. During our call, Bill will reflect on polarization, courage, and the vital role of “repair” in social change — offering insights highly relevant to CCL’s commitment to respectful, nonpartisan climate advocacy.

Each month, Citizens’ Climate Lobby supporters gather locally for a National Monthly Meeting where we educate ourselves by listening to a guest speaker.
