If you believe in an America of repaired friendship, rebuilt politics, rising above crisis, then Braver Angels is for you.

We're laying the groundwork for 50 state infrastructure working on this & more, during COVID & in its aftermath.

We just need you.

If feelings about our political adversaries can be represented on a spectrum, our objective is to move Americans from hatred to respect and appreciation. #BetterAngelsPledge

[Braver Angels - Allen Chapter @braver_angels]

The United States is disuniting. We’re becoming two Americas angry with the other and distrusting our opposites’ basic humanity and good intentions. Watch for upcoming #BetterAngels events to learn why this doesn't have to be the case.

[Braver Angels - Allen Chapter @braver_angels]

We form local alliances and hold local workshops and debates. We discuss our differences with civility and look for common ground. We encourage each other and we organize others do the same. We are a grassroots family fixing our broken politics from the bottom up. #BetterAngels

"Better Angels is the solution to the divisiveness and rancor threatening our nation."

The enemy of our country is not progressivism or conservatism. The enemy is ill-will.

The enemy of our future is not Republicans or Democrats. It is our inability to transcend these labels as Americans.

Some interesting research coming out of @williamandmary about polarization (with some conclusions that sound familiar 😉)

"The first step is seeing someone as a full person, not an opponent, she explained."

Participants talk about how their expectations of having to defend their beliefs against the other side shifted to fascinating engagement with the variety of viewpoints on their own side.
