About Us
Braver Angels - National
Political polarization and extreme partisanship are harming America. Politicians and media outlets seem more interested in name calling than problem solving. Braver Angels is a nation-wide citizen's movement working to depolarize America by conducting workshops that bring liberals and conservatives together for moderated conversations. These conversations are for the purpose of understanding each other, not debating or denegrating each other. You can learn more about Braver Angels at the national website.
Braver Angels - Sacramento
The Braver Angels Sacramento Alliance is a local chapter of Braver Angels. We hold workshops, debates and public presentations that bridge the polarizing political divide we have in this country. These events allow conservatives and liberals to get past destructive stereotypes so we can have civil conversations.
In 2018, over two hundred people attended our events, which included six Red / Blue Workshops, four Skills Workshops, and a media panel on "The Media’s Role in Polarizing America." Click here for upcoming events.

This poster was created by Anna Deukmejian, an eighth grade student at Sutter Middle School in Sacramento. Anna is concerned about the deep political divide in our country and wanted to create a piece of art that demonstrated her conviction that the next generation will make things better. In her own words:
“When I created this poster, I was thinking about how Democrats and Republicans are unwilling to listen to one another. It saddens me to see our country so bitterly divided, and I placed myself in the center of the image to show that I hope those of us who are the country’s future will do something to change this.”
