Watch the BA video Immigration 101, a concise introduction to the U.S. immigration system. It is co-presented by Theresa Cardinal Brown, senior advisor at the Bipartisan Policy Center, and Jim Robb, vice-president of NumbersUSA; prominent immigration think tanks who hold differing views on policies but share a commitment to factual clarity. The presentation is part of Braver Angels' broader initiative to find common ground on immigration through grassroots events, policy discussions, and collaboration with national leaders. A facilitated discussion will follow the video.
We are also hosting our monthly 2nd Wednesday online "WNC member meetings". If you'd like to attend you can become a BA member HERE or email us HERE for a guest invite.
The alliance is also leading in-person workshops and presentations with other civic/faith groups. Please reach out if you're interested in one for your organization.

BRAVER NETWORKS
Join us in building a movement for civic renewal.
Braver Network is a network of organizations across the political spectrum working together to bridge the partisan divide. We’re committed to equal representation of reds and blues in the network, strong representation of independents and non-partisan groups, and a mix of national and community organizations.
Our goal is national civic renewal. By bringing “reds”, “blues”, and “others” together to speak freely and without fear – and to disagree respectfully - BA’s objective is “not to change peoples’ minds about issues but to change peoples’ minds about each other".
No one will ask you for money. There are no required meetings. The only requirements are that you designate someone from your team to serve as a liaison to the network.
