Braver Network
Braver Network is a network of organizations across the political spectrum working together to bridge the partisan divide. We’re committed to equal representation of reds and blues in the network, strong representation of independents and non-partisan groups, and a mix of national and community organizations. Our goal is national civic renewal.
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 annual National Convention in the summer of 2024. The rest is up to you.
Check out the First Principles of a Civic Renewal Movement, ratified by delegates at the 2023 Braver Angels Convention.

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.
