Braver Angels (originally known as Better Angels) is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 with the goal of bringing Americans together across the partisan divide to better understand one another and to strengthen our democratic republic. Braver Angels is grassroots, cross-partisan, and largely volunteer-led. Members organize in-person and online events for national audiences, as well as local activities through smaller regional chapters (called "alliances"). These events bring together conservatives, liberals, and others who want to get past destructive stereotypes and build the skills to have respectful conversations about real issues that lead to productive problem-solving. We strive to ensure that everyone--regardless of their political opinions--feels heard and respected.

Braver Angels members practice and promote civil discourse through:

• Free workshops

• Discussions of current events

• Book talks

• Debates

• Civic discourse events

• Speaking engagements

• 1:1 conversations

• Alliance meetings 

• and more…
