Please join us in October for Civility Month 2022
We are holding events on Zoom and in-person focused on “Civility in Journalism” and on “Restoring Trust and Depolarizing America.” We also have two author events and two “Bridging Our Differences” workshops, along with our annual art contest, and this year’s “Civility Awards.”

Brandi Kruse is an Emmy Award-winning journalist and political commentator. After nearly a decade with the FOX affiliate in Seattle she left to launch [un]Divided, an independent political show and podcast that gives a voice to Americans who have been drowned out by the fringes.

She lives in east King County with her fiancé, two rescue dogs, and an old cat named Edison.

Elizabeth Doll is the Executive Director of Braver Politics (a project of the “Braver Angels” organization). Doll is an experienced political campaign professional and is heading up a national effort to depolarize our politics and remake our political culture from the ground up in a spirit of trust, citizenship, and good-will. Doll, a Republican, has worked closely with people across the political spectrum and will discuss the latest research into working across the political divide, her work with both “Reds” and “Blues” here in Washington state, and more. The U.U. church asks that attendees be vaccinated and masked.
