Braver Citizens
“We the People”—the first words of the U.S. Constitution—capture the essence of being a Braver Citizen. Citizenship is the common thread that connects all of us as Americans. We are a nation bound not by race or religion, but by the shared values of freedom, liberty, and equality. We envision an America with respectful embrace of political disagreements, where civic friendship flourishes and competing perspectives strengthen our nation. Our goal is not to change people’s views of issues, but to change their views of each other.
Braver Citizens bring this vision to life. In Braver Angels, you’ll build relationships across the political spectrum, strengthen your community, and lead with the Braver Angels Way. Your voice matters. No matter where you live or what your background is, you can make a difference. Join us.

A Red and a Blue walk into a workshop. Can they find common ground on a controversial issue?
Just a day after one of the most controversial and consequential Supreme Court decisions – Roe v. Wade – was overturned, eight Reds and eight Blues from across Massachusetts and New Hampshire gathered together in a Boston College classroom to see if they could find common ground on another hot-button issue: how to ensure trustworthy elections.
Do you have what it takes to ‘Walk A Mile In My News’?
With “Walk A Mile In My News,” liberals and conservatives break out of their media silos by reading articles across the political divide and getting to know someone who appreciates them. Are you brave enough to try this Braver Angels workshop?
