Welcome to the Resource Center

The Change Lab’s Resource Center is your guide for civic learning and action — featuring training modules, upcoming webinars, spotlights on aligned organizations, and a calendar of local events. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for your next step, this is where knowledge meets community — and where small actions can lead to real change.

Please note: This is a temporary site while we build out the full Civic Impact Engine — a next-generation platform designed to help you explore personalized pathways into civic life, connection, and community action. We’re excited you’re here at the start. Let’s build something meaningful together.

Who Can We Trust? Exploring Truth in a Fractured Media Landscape

In an era of media saturation and growing political distrust, Braver Angels invites you to a Fishbowl-style conversation exploring how we make sense of the truth. This dynamic and respectful dialogue offers an opportunity for people from across the political spectrum to wrestle with questions like:

  • Why is trust in the media breaking down?

  • What roles do traditional and alternative media play in shaping opinion?

  • How can citizens find truth and resist manipulation?

Participants will rotate into an inner “fishbowl” circle to share insights, while others actively listen and learn.

This is a space for curiosity, not combat.
