Bridging Social Divides - The mission of Braver Angels is to study and strengthen U.S. civil society, with a particular focus currently on analyzing and reducing societal and political polarization in the United States.

Public Outreach - Braver Angels staff frequently engage in public speaking and writing on issues connected to societal polarization and organize community workshops and other activities at the level of U.S. civil society that bring together citizens with opposing views to seek better mutual understanding and common ground.
