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.
