Connecting BA Musicians to New Audiences
BA Ambassadors Program:
We partner with established artists to promote the Braver Angels’ mission by featuring them at our events and coordinating songwriting workshops for their communities
Distributing Your Music:
Braver Angels workshops feature music from our songwriting community. We catalog songs according to subject so that BA Moderators can find songs they deem topic appropriate to feature - offering a nationwide distribution network to connect our artists to communities who care about similar issues.
