Braver Network

One organization can't change the country. A movement can.

Braver Network is a network of organizations from across the political spectrum and representing many different goals. 

The mission of Braver Network is to bring organizations together to bridge the partisan divide. Our goal is to help grow and spread a civic renewal movement. 

Our vision is of a civic renewal movement in which all people are treated with dignity and no one is silenced. We strive for better conflict, an accurate understanding of differences, and common ground. Just as littering on roads became unacceptable, toxic political engagement will become unacceptable in everyday life.

Join us in building a movement for civic renewal

What kind of organizations are in Braver Network?

Organizations in Braver Network have different leanings: conservative to liberal to centrist to off-the-beaten-path. Some of us are nonpartisan, and many of us have goals completely separate from politics: like congregations, companies, civic groups, cafes, and colleges (to name a few). 

Some of us are big and national, and some of us are local and small. Some of us are focused on bridge-building, and many of us are advocating for specific issues or serving local communities. 

The one thing that brings us together? We see America torn apart by polarization—and we believe we can do better as Americans.  We want our organizations to be part of the solution. 

We work together because no one organization alone can change the country. But a movement can.

FAQ

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.

No.

Yes.  There are opportunities for work tailored to your organization’s needs.
