Braver Politics
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.
If you would like to get more involved in Braver Angels of Illinois, you can join an Alliance.
Alliance members are dues-paying members of Braver Angels ($12/year) and have attended at least one workshop. Visit the membership page of the national website.
