Braver Network

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

Join us in building a movement for civic renewal.

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.

It is 100% free to join. 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

What are the responsibilities of participation?

Designate someone who’ll be responsible to be your organization’s liaison with Braver Network.

What does the liaison do?

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.

Why do we ask Braver Angels members about their political leanings?

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.

Are there any fees, payments, or required meetings?

No.

Are deeper dives available?

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

Who runs Braver Network?

Braver Angels.

How does Braver Angels benefit?

Working with other groups to build a national movement for civic renewal advances Braver Angels’ mission.

Does deciding to join mean that we support the other participating groups?

What if an organization no longer wishes to participate?

Participation is entirely voluntary and can be ended at any time.
