Braver Angels is a national citizens’ movement dedicated to bridging America’s partisan divide and strengthening our democratic republic. Its mission closely aligns with Beyond the Politics of Contempt, which calls readers to move beyond hostility and engage one another with dignity, curiosity, and respect.

Co-authors Doug Teschner and Beth Malow volunteer with Braver Angels, and their experience in this work helps shape the book’s practical guidance for building healthier relationships across political differences.
