Red-Blue Balance at Work on Our Website
At Braver Angels, we require Red-Blue balance at all levels of leadership. In the summer of 2023 we formed a website committee tasked with redesigning our website; 4 Reds, 4 Blues and 2 Others. Over the next year, you'll see some changes as we roll out new webpages based on expertise from our team and feedback from our members.
The balance of Red, Blue and Other on our website team has been paramount to the success of this project. Through full, free and fearless discussions we revealed important insights, leading to a stronger end result.
