Values

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 that 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.

We’re guided by the rule that Red and Blue leaders are equally represented at every level of organizational guidance.

Our members range from working class to affluent and come from many backgrounds. Our constant striving is to be an organization reflective of the country we seek to serve.
