Braver Politics is a new movement in Illinois and other states where Braver Angels members are getting more directly involved in promoting civility and respect between elected officials and between officials and their constituents.  

The current focus of Braver Politics in Illinois is working with our counterparts in Wisconsin to have a Braver Angels presence at the Republican Naitonal Convention in  Milwaukee in July and the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.

Please contact the state coordinators for more information.

This is a mostly in-person Alliance of Braver Angels members in the Champaign County area of Illinois.  The group is informally named the "Tired-of-all-the-Fighting Illini" and meets at 7 PM on the last Tuesday of the month, location can vary.
