2020 was a year of pain, isolation, and deep uncertainty. But it was also a year of hope, perseverance, and a reminder that — for better or worse — we’re all in this together.
In the final episode of 2020, Ciaran O’Connor joins April Lawson, Randy Lioz, and Alma Cook to reflect on a year that broke our hearts, tested our mettle, and ultimately reaffirmed our commitment to the work of Braver Angels.
September 10th was a devastating day for our nation. There are no words for the loss of Charlie Kirk. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. It’s on each of us to stop this dangerous cycle of mutual destruction. No matter where we stand on the political spectrum, here’s what we must do in the wake of this tragedy.
Before the events in Utah, today—September 11—was already a somber day of remembrance. Twenty-four years on, we honor the lives lost and the resolve that followed. That same resolve is what we need now. We are all shocked by the assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday. We are saddened—and moved to act—by the pattern of political assassinations and attempts over the last 14 months. We will avoid speculation and await official updates even as we care for one another and our communities.
How do we, as Braver Angels members, respond?
We’re delighted to announce Maury Giles as the next CEO of Braver Angels. Let us tell you a bit more about Maury and how we arrived at this exciting decision.
