The Braver Angels Way
● We state our views freely and fully, without fear.
● We treat people who disagree with us with honesty, dignity and respect.
● We welcome opportunities to engage those with whom we disagree.
● We believe all of us have blind spots and none of us are not worth talking to.
● We seek to disagree accurately, avoiding exaggeration and stereotypes.
● We look for common ground where it exists and, if possible, find ways to work together.
● We believe that, in disagreements, both sides share and learn.
● In Braver Angels, neither side is teaching the other or giving feedback on how to think or say things differently.
