The Spark Weekly 9.7.2025: Braver Angels and The Definition of A "Typical College Student" is Changing.


Listen Later

Coming up on this week's edition of The Spark Weekly.

The Braver Angels National organization launched a two-year initiative around the topic of immigration - The Citizens Commission on Immigration. The goal is to demonstrate to our US Congress that Americans with differing views can find common ground.  The initiative was launched after our 2024 convention and the result of a vote by a balanced red-blue group of about 750 delegates.  It will culminate with a "Report to the Nation."  The process is similar to the previous two-year initiative on Trustworthy Elections. 

Also on the program...

The idea of a “traditional” college student — 18 to 24 years old, living on campus, and attending classes full-time — may no longer match reality.
