Braver Angels

Braver Angels is a nonprofit organization based in New York, focused on bridging the partisan divide in America and strengthening democracy by reducing political polarization. Founded in the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the organization aims to foster empathy, respect, and civic friendship among Americans across political lines. It envisions a nation where political disagreements do not hinder civic relationships and where diverse perspectives contribute to a stronger society.

The organization offers a range of programs designed to promote understanding and cooperation between conservatives and liberals. These include facilitated workshops, debates, and community events that encourage participants to listen to opposing views and find common ground. Braver Angels also provides training for political candidates and elected officials to enhance civil discourse and problem-solving skills. Their initiatives serve a wide audience, including citizens, community leaders, and grassroots activists, all committed to fostering respectful engagement and reducing polarization in American politics.
