A member of Braver Angels is part of a national community – we are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents of all political persuasions.
We form local alliances and hold local workshops and debates. We discuss our differences with civility and look for common ground. We encourage each other and we organize others to do the same. We are a grassroots movement fixing our broken politics from the bottom up.
