About us

New Meetup Group December 2025. Excited to build our alliance.

Braver Angels Mission: We inspire and equip Americans to practice courageous citizenship across political differences through skill-building, convening, and collaborative action.

Braver Angels Vision: We envision an America where courageous citizenship is the honored norm, renewing civic culture and building trust across political differences.

The Braver Angels Way:
We state our views freely and fully, without fear.
We treat people who disagree with us with honesty, dignity, and respect.
We welcome opportunities to engage those with whom we disagree.
We believe all of us have blind spots and none of us are not worth talking to.
We seek to disagree accurately, avoiding exaggeration and stereotypes.
We look for common ground where it exists and, if possible, find ways to work together.
We believe that, in disagreements, both sides share and learn.
In Braver Angels, neither side is teaching the other or giving feedback on how to think or say things differently.

Featured event

Depolarizing Ourselves Workshop

Sat, Apr 18 · 10:00 AM EDT

AOC Marketing Research : Your Preferred Research Partner, 10100 Park Cedar Dr # 100, Charlotte, NC, US

A free in-person session to become more aware of your "inner polarizer" and to learn methods for disagreeing without contempt and ridicule

Polarization is fueled by how we talk about those on the other side of an issue. Too often, we ridicule, dismiss, or stereotype our fellow citizens. When Braver Angels addresses “polarization,” we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are addressing how we regard and talk about large groups of people -- people who happen to be on the other side of the political aisle.

Goals
In this 1.5 hour session participants will learn:

How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”
How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population

Who Can Attend?
Anyone interested in examining their own inner polarization and learning strategies to disagree without condemning or ridiculing others.
