Our Mission

Braver Angels is a citizens’ organization uniting red and blue Americans in a working alliance to depolarize America.

We try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it.
We engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together.
We support principles that bring us together rather than divide us.

“Braver Angels changed my life. Enough of us together can save our country.”
– Donna Murphy, liberal, Virginia

“Braver Angels is the solution to the divisiveness and rancor threatening our nation.”
– Chris Peters, conservative, Iowa

I've watched Braver Angels turn a roomful of wary strangers into a roomful of collaborating fellow-citizens. It's giving hope and empowerment, and that's why it's taking off like nothing I've seen before.

By my lights the most innovative, constructive and eloquent response to the national nervous breakdown we're all enduring.

I can't tell you how excited I am to be a part of this movement. Connecting with others who care about the fabric of our American experiment is deeply fulfilling.

The work you are doing may just save us as a democratic culture.

Braver Angels is doing some of the most important work today to restore and repair our democracy.
