Our Mission
Braver Angels is a citizens’ organization uniting red and blue Americans in a working alliance to depolarize America.
- We try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it.
- We engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together.
- We support principles that bring us together rather than divide us.
I have attended a couple of their sessions online and have found them to be fascinating, informative, and hopeful. Maybe you will too. Start by signing the letter on this website.
