Release: Braver Angels 2024 Convention
In a time when so many despair, we’ll go to Kenosha to create hope. Politics doesn’t have to be this destructive. We can find ways to disagree better. Build new friendships. Deepen our civic skills. Renew our commitments. We’ll talk in Kenosha, but we’ll do more than talk. We’ll launch a campaign to recruit thousands of new civic leaders. We’ll decide how to take our message to both national political conventions. And “We, the People” will debate and determine our future work together. Hope isn’t something we’re given. It’s something we create. As Red, Blue, and Independent, we will go to Kenosha because we need each other and our country needs all of us. The 2024 Braver Angels National Convention is a call to citizenship. Our main goals are to connect with each other across the divides and create ways to work together to save our country. The style will be participatory. Experts in attendance will be on tap, not on top. The Convention will be co-chaired by one conservative and one liberal leader who will use adapted parliamentary procedure to ensure equal participation. Debating the Issues: Which issues today are tearing us apart? Where can working in the “Braver Angels Way” do the most good for our nation in this challenging moment? At the 2024 Braver Angels National Convention, we’ll debate four key political issues over three days. How are we choosing which issues to dig into? We sent out a poll of 12 possible issues and over 1,000 members cast their vote. The top four issues going to the Convention floor are:
The delegates in Kenosha will discuss and debate these four, narrow it down to two, and then pick one for a priority focus in the coming months. Why? In a time of partisan gridlock, we are saying: “It doesn’t have to be this way.” In a time when so many of our political leaders don’t seem up to the task, we are saying: “Watch us.” View the following featured events, conversations, and activities at the link here.
