Join us in Philadelphia from June 25-28th for our 2026 National Convention, just a week before the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
We’re bringing over a thousand people—equally divided between Red and Blue—to Temple University to celebrate our past and forge the path for our future. We’re stepping up as leaders and stepping into the work of courageous citizenship at a time when America needs it most—and we want you to be a part of it.
Applications to be a convention delegate will go live in the new year. Sign up here to be the first to get notified: https://braverangels.org/announcement/
We hope to see you in Philly.

Today, our elected officials from across the political spectrum came together to sign a letter calling for an end to political violence and the reckless rhetoric that fuels it—and we played a role in it.
Last week, three of our leaders, CEO Maury Giles, COO Barbara Thomas, and Director of Debates Jessie Mannisto, met with the Problem Solvers Caucus and shared language we were using to call on Americans to turn away from toxic politics and turn towards one another to pursue .
The Problem Solvers Caucus, led by Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) and Tom Suozzi (NY-03) quickly worked to use this as a jumping-off point to develop their own letter to America, and were able to get 36 leaders to sign it.
This move from our elected officials is bold and countercultural. At a time when so many are championing division, they're taking a stand against it. That's a huge victory for this growing movement.

Thank you to our friends at BridgeUSA, The Dignity Index, National Institute for Civil Discourse, and Mormon Women for Ethical Government for working with us on this.
