BRAVER ANGELS NEXT CHAPTER | North Star, Mission & Vision

For years, Braver Angels has been known for dignified debate, skills training, and bridge-building workshops. That doesn’t change. What’s changing is our emphasis on action: we’re asking Americans to practice courageous citizenship—as a personal habit, in local alliances, and for the health of the nation.

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

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

Said simply, we’re inviting people to:

• Act, not react.

• Act together, locally.

• Act for the health of American society.

Problem Solvers Caucus Members Sign Open Letter Condemning Political Violence

On September 23rd, our elected officials from across the political spectrum came together to sign a letter calling for an end to political violence and the reckless rhetoric that fuels it — and we played a role in it.

This move from our elected officials is bold and countercultural. At a time when so many are championing division, they are taking a stand against it. That is a huge victory for this growing movement!
