Braver Angels Arkansas

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.

The Braver Angels Way

We ask all observers & participants of our events to abide by The Braver Angels Way:

• 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 with those with whom we disagree. 

• We believe 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.
