Every day, thousands of people across the United States are engaging in the work of Braver Angels — changing their lives, their relationships, and their communities. Here are a few participant experiences, in their own words.
What Braver Angels Members of Wilmington Are Saying
“I thought it was an interesting event, I found myself agreeing on many of the points of the candidate opposite of the one I support.”
“I think both of the candidates did an amazing job of keeping the debate calm.... It was the first time I have ever seen people of the opposite party have a civil conversation.”
“I loved coming to this debate and learning the different viewpoints from the candidates. ...[The Braver Angels way] showed me how civil people can be during a debate."
"I am faaaaaaar less judgmental of people, including myself. My relationships are all flourishing, I’m actively involved in my local community’s prosperity and health, and I can influence others regularly about the value of seeing the other side’s point of view."
"My political life was tumultuous, and emotionally exhausting, for many years. Braver Angels clarified for me that conflict can be healthy, or unhealthy. Their work has been immensely instructional in how to keep focused on healthy conflict, and to resist the temptation to dehumanize those with whom we differ."
"Just the existence of Braver Angels gives me hope that our nation can recover from its recent wounds."
