Braver Angels of NYS

Fighting over politics is tearing us apart;
but we can do something about it.

Americans on opposite sides of the political spectrum don’t only disagree on issues — they increasingly dislike one another. This growing partisan animosity is the crisis of our time and threatens our nation. Braver Angels exists to address this challenge.

Launched in 2016, Braver Angels is a national citizens' movement. We seek to depolarize American politics. Our work is rooted in grassroots organizing. From the grassroots, our volunteer leaders (supported by a small staff) leverage Braver Angels programs and unique organizing structure to impact community life and American institutions.

Braver Angels of New York brings together people across the state––from diverse backgrounds and beliefs––for the shared goal of fostering open dialogue, building meaningful relationships, and promoting depolarization. Through engaging events, workshops, and community partnerships, we aim to create inclusive communities where individuals can have discussions across political differences and ignite a civic renewal movement.
