The 2026 Braver Angels National Convention will be held from June 25th to 28th in none other than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of America, which will be ringing in its 250th anniversary just a week later.
In 2024, over 750 delegates—equally divided between Red and Blue—came to our convention in Kenosha, Wisconsin to restore hope in America. But 2026 will be different—it has to be. As we lead into our country’s Semiquincentennial, more than a thousand delegates from across the political spectrum will step up as leaders and step into courageous citizenship at a moment when our country needs it most.
America was founded by brilliant people who came together across debate, difference, and disagreement, to form a constitutional, representative democracy that has withstood civil unrest, economic depression, and war, and has remained the world’s greatest experiment in self-government: a government of the people, by the people, for the people.
But today, our country is in a moment of great need, and it’s time that we the people show our representatives, our fellow citizens, and ourselves what we really stand for. They say you don’t know you have a value until it’s tested. Well, this is our test. Will you answer the call?
In 2026, the significance of the Fourth of July, Independence Day, will be unlike any other in our lifetime. You have a chance to be a part of it the Braver Angels Way. Applications to become a delegate to the convention will open in the new year. If you sign up here, you’ll be the first to know about it.
We hope to see you in Philadelphia.
— Gabbi Kearns, Director of Communications
