Braver Angels Arkansas
Braver Angels (braverangels.org) is a citizen's organization uniting red and blue Americans in a working alliance to depolarize America
Our Goal
Our goal is to establish a vibrant and active organization in Arkansas as we seek to reach across the political divide and develop greater respectful communications and, where feasible, collaborations to help solve problems facing our state and nation.
Braver Angels is a citizens’ organization uniting red and blue Americans in a working alliance to depolarize America. We try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it. We engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together. We support principles that bring us together rather than divide us.

CIVIL CONVERSATION SERIES MOVES TO HOT SPRINGS!
Civil Conversations series: Co-sponsored by Braver Angels Arkansas & Garland County Library
After a successful year of civil conversations in Little Rock, we are moving the series to Hot Springs. Braver Angels Arkansas (BAAR) and the Garland County Library present Civil Conversations, a monthly series of conversations about politics and related topics. We welcome citizens who seek a respectful, safe environment in which to listen with curiosity to others and to speak effectively about their own views. Moderators from BAAR, trained by Braver Angels, will provide skills training and coaching while encouraging all to maintain a civil and respectful approach to our conversations. Anyone willing to commit to respectfully listening to others, and to sharing your own views with respect, is welcome. We will follow a specific format, and moderators will help ensure all participants follow guidelines for civil discussion. No registration is needed to attend. Email cathi@fiberpipe.net for details or questions.
Series schedule: We meet 2-4 pm on the 1st Sunday of each month starting November 3 through at least March, 2025 at the Garland County library at 1427 Malvern Ave. Come join us and bring a friend with different political views to learn effective communication skills and to practice respectful dialogue.
Goals of this series:
• Develop and practice communication skills
• Elevate respect for individual differences; promote understanding and tolerance
• Identify common points of view or interest
