Fed up with political division? Let's make a change together.
We're NOT trying to change anyone's mind on issues, but we often DO change how we see each other.
In our current political climate, individuals with differing political viewpoints not only hold contrasting opinions on various matters but also exhibit a growing animosity toward one another. This discord is detrimental to our communities, our nation, and the well-being of our children. It is imperative that we rediscover the means to engage in respectful and civil discourse once more. If you're skeptical about the feasibility of this endeavor, we once shared your doubts as well.
As individuals, we try to understand the other side's point of view, even if we don't agree with it.
In our communities, we engage those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together.
In politics, we support principles that bring us together rather than divide us.
Join conservatives, liberals, libertarians, progressives, unafilliated and
independents working together to make a difference in Minnesota

Whether you're new to Minnesota Braver Angels or a longtime member, our monthly online Open House is a welcoming space to ask questions—especially ones you might hesitate to ask elsewhere.
The Minnesota Braver Angels state coordinators are here to listen, support you, and help find answers.
Come as you are—this is a casual, unscripted space for all Minnesota Braver Angels.
Open House will return in January, 2026; the next date will appear on the Events page.
We offer events in Minnesota to keep you engaged and connected. Whether you're looking for social gatherings to meet new Braver Angels, or discussion groups to exchange ideas, we got you! Plus, stay tuned as we continue to expand our event offerings to bring you even more opportunities.
You can also check out national online experience, such as debates, or set up a 1:1 conversation with some who holds a different viewpoint.
Check out the free eCourses, on the national Braver Angels website, developed by experts in communications and depolarization. They run about 40 minutes, and provide an effective and safe way to interact with people in difficult situations. Topics include: Managing Difficult Conversations; Families & Politics; Skills for Bridging the Divide; and more.
