Braver Network
No one will ask you for money. There are no required meetings. The only requirements are that you designate someone from your team to serve as a liaison to the network and that you list your organization as part of the growing network below. We’ll then invite you to tap delegates to send to our National Convention in Gettysburg, PA (July 5-8th, 2023). The rest is up to you.
How We Can Work Together
- Designate delegates to our National Convention (July 5-8, 2023), where they can connect with other organizations to help shape the movement Platform and Call to Action.
- Send members to our workshops, debates, and seminars to become more effective citizens and colleagues.
- Tap key leaders to join our leadership trainings and learn how to organize and facilitate events in your own organization and community.
- Bring your organization's unique strengths to the table to help chart the course of this movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Designate someone who’ll be responsible to be your organization’s liaison with Braver Network.
The liaison is the person within your organization who connects your members to Braver Network. They support the mission of bringing Americans together to understand our differences and seek common ground, and become a member of Braver Angels. They’ll receive digital newsletters outlining upcoming opportunities and, after the Braver Angels 2023 Convention, may be invited to attend periodic, one-hour, online gatherings to share information and discuss key topics.
For anyone joining Braver Angels, we ask you (if you’re agreeable) to indicate to us your overall political leaning. For Braver Network, we want a group of liaisons that’s politically balanced, with about half leaning red and about half leaning blue. Political balance is vital to our mission.
Yes. There are opportunities for work tailored to your organization’s needs.
