Pledge that you "Refuse to be a Jerk"
Is it really possible to sum up the entire Braver Angels philosophy and all the important skills taught by Braver Angels in a five-word sentence? Probably not. But here's one attempt, “Refuse to be a jerk.”
As Braver Angels, we don’t want to sink into “jerkiness” – closemindedness, selfishness, and meanness. We want to Rise for America. We strive to have respectful conversations and work with fellow Americans to pull the country together.

Take a stand and be counted with those who Rise for America!
I pledge to use the skills I have acquired through Braver Angels to have respectful discussions with other people -- to keep an open mind, and to respond to those with differing opinions in a respectful manner, without stereotyping or exaggeration.
In these discussions, I will not be a jerk.
