About Braver Angels
We are the largest grassroots volunteer-led nonprofit helping America overcome political polarization. We impact communities and institutions through workshops, debates, and other programs that help people engage better with those they disagree with. We strive towards equal representation of “reds” and “blues” in our leadership and programming.
Our approach is guided by the Braver Angels Pledge:
- As individuals, we try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it.
- In our communities we engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together.
- In politics, we support principles that bring us together rather than divide us.
