If you are heartsick about the rancor tearing us apart–

If you believe that your opponents should not be your enemies–

If you believe that America’s best days are ahead of her–

You need Braver Angels and we need you. 

Who Are We?

We are a national movement to bridge the partisan divide in an effort to strengthen our democratic republic. 

Launched in 2016, Braver Angels is a national movement to bring liberals, conservatives and others together at the grassroots level–not to find centrist compromise, but to find one another as citizens. Through workshops, debates, campus engagement, and more, Braver Angels helps Americans understand each other beyond stereotypes, form community alliances, and reduce the vitriol that poisons our civic culture. 

We’re a dues-paying membership organization led by a small staff and many volunteers. We include our entire membership in regular video conferences, and delegates attending an annual Convention help guide the organization. We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit led by a Board of Directors. All donations are tax-deductible. 

What Do We Do?

Our activities include:

• Community workshops–for more information, see the reverse of this page. 
• Debates–exchanging ideas in a thoughtful and respectful way, making sure each side is heard. 
• Alliances–local groups of Red, Blue, and Other members who meet regularly
• 1:1 Conversations–opportunities to talk directly with someone from a different perspective. 
• Braver Politics–a citizen-led movement to engage candidates, public officials, and political staff 
• Corporate Offerings–sessions to help companies build constructive approaches to civil discourse. 
• College Debates Programs–experiences of civil debates and discourse for students
• Library, Film Club, Podcasts and more!

How Do We Do It?

Our rule of balance is that at every level of leadership, from the national level to local alliances, we have equal numbers of Reds and Blues. We welcome those who lean neither Red or Blue to join us in our work. Our leaders and members range from working class to affluent, and come from many backgrounds, as we strive to reflect the country we seek to serve.
