Join The Movement. Â Tennessee Needs You. Â America Needs You.
Braver Angels in Tennessee has members and leaders in each region of the state (East, Middle, and West Tennessee) in what are called Alliances. We come together once a month on the Third Thursday of each month at 6PM Eastern (5PM Central) for a fantastic time of discussion, learning about upcoming events, and practicing our skills at civil discourse. Â
The East TN Alliance hosts the statewide monthly meeting, providing both in-person and online means of attending.Â
If you're in the Knoxville area, you can join in-person at Erin Presbyterian. See the Events Page.Â
If you're located elsewhere in the state (Nashville, Chattanooga, Memphis, Tri-Cities, etc.), you can join via Zoom. Register Here.
Our discussion topics draw from articles and videos posted on our Events Page. Â
Join our Google Group to keep in contact with other members, share resources, and plan future events. If you don't have a Google account, email braver-eta+subscribe@googlegroups.com to join.
An op-ed in the Knoxville News-Sentinel from one of our members. The News-Sentinel is very interested in hearing from people working against political polarization. Please send letters to the editor opinion@knoxnews.com and let the media know that real people tired of political infighting and want our representatives to do better!
