Local Alliances
The first words of the U.S. Constitution, “We the People,” highlight the foundation of being a Braver Citizen. By joining a Braver Angels Alliance, you can develop teamwork skills, build trust, and support each other’s growth. Each Alliance tailors its activities to fit the needs of its community while staying true to the Braver Angels mission of overcoming partisan divides and strengthening our democratic republic.
Alliances advance our mission at the local, state, and regional level, offering members a way to engage with each other in their own communities using the Braver Angels Way. Alliances have a Red-Blue balance in their leadership and strive towards a Red-Blue balance in their membership.
