What’s on your mind about the 2024 election? - Braver Angels

What’s on your mind about the 2024 election?

Braver Angels began in response to the division that emerged during and after the 2016 election. As we approach the second presidential election since our founding, we’re asking ourselves: How can we best serve our community and those carrying out our mission on the ground?

Put simply, we want to help you navigate this upcoming election.

Whether you’re repairing a relationship strained by politics or helping your community come together to find cross-partisan solutions, we want to be a resource you can turn to in these coming months.

So, we’re hoping you’ll let us know:

  • What’s on your mind about the 2024 election?
  • If you could ask Braver Angels leaders—whether it’s Dr. Bill Doherty, Mónica Guzmán, John Wood Jr., or anyone else—any questions or for any advice about navigating the election, what would you ask them?
  • What can Braver Angels do, share, or create that would help you, your family, or your community during this time of uncertainty? Are there certain events you’d like to attend? Is there a how-to guide you’d love to read?

Many of our greatest ideas, insights, and inspirations come from you—our members and volunteers on the ground. Sharing your perspective will help us show up for you and grow our movement at a time when our country needs it most.

So, please respond to us directly if that works best for you. Or, check out this form if that works better. As always, it’s wonderful to be in this work with you. We’re really looking forward to hearing from you

Don’t they hate black people?’” she said. “That was my initial belief because that’s what I had heard about people who voted for Trump.” But she quickly realized she was wrong. During the first Braver Lens session, Mia was able to connect with conservatives in the group and recognize their points of commonality. “When we met, they showed their pictures, and explained their life stories, and I was able to see where our values overlap,” she said.

As a young man, Daniel’s father emerged from a broken, dysfunctional home looking for direction and found it while attending a Billy Graham crusade in Chicago. There, he “walked forward”—committing himself to Jesus Christ and changing the trajectory of his family. Not long after, he married Daniel’s mom, a Christian convert whose grandparents sought refuge in America after escaping pogroms in Europe.

Announcing Braver Angels Advisory Council

Twenty-three leaders who disagree on many things said yes to the same thing this month. They agreed to stand together, publicly, behind the idea that Americans can hold fast to their convictions while staying genuinely curious about the convictions of people on the other side. That’s it. That’s the commitment. For more than nine years, Braver Angels has reached people in every state in the union. The ones who’ve engaged have experienced something that surprises them every time: the relief of disagreeing without contempt, and the discovery that the person across the table is not who the feed said they were.
