Braver Angels

Dennis Eckhard stops by to talk about an organization known as Braver Angels.

Braver Angels is a national citizens’ movement launched in 2016. Its purpose is to bring liberals, conservatives and others together at the grassroots level — not to find centrist compromise, but to find one another as citizens. Through workshops, debates, and campus engagement, Braver Angels helps Americans understand each other beyond stereotypes, form community alliances, and reduce the vitriol that poisons our civic culture.

Dennis joined Braver Angels because he was fed up with the constant political polarization in our nation, and he felt that if people could just talk to one another, they could help the nation come together rather than drifting further apart. Listen in as he provides information on the Braver Angels organization and the successes it finds in simply getting people to talk and listen to each other.
