Braver Citizens
Building a stronger country starts at the grassroots.
When it comes to addressing political polarization, everyone has a role to play.Â
We organize thousands of citizens at the grassroots level across all 50 states through membership recruitment, local alliance-building, regional leadership development, convention delegation, including workshops, debates, community events, and town halls.
