No Labels  https://www.nolabels.org/

A national movement of Democrats, Republicans and independents working to bring our leaders together to solve America’s toughest problems.

There is no group in America doing what No Labels does. We’ve created a rebellious but constructive third force in American government that is finally poised to break the gridlock and dysfunction that is destroying our democracy.

Welcome from the Co-Chairs

On behalf of the Problem Solvers Caucus’ members, we welcome you to our official website.  We are all tired of the obstructionism in Washington where partisan politics is too often prioritized over governing and what is best for the country.

This is why the Problem Solvers Caucus was formed, and why we are on a mission to change the culture of D.C. We are a bipartisan group of Members of Congress organized to get to “yes” to help solve some of our country’s most pressing challenges.

Every week we are in Washington, you will find Problem Solvers, proud Democrats and Republicans, seated together around a table, debating, listening, and working together to help solve these issues.

Welcome

The Mission of Braver Angels:|
We bring Americans together to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic.

We welcome people with strong convictions and principles. We believe the best way to achieve a more perfect Union is by being forthright and transparent about our political leanings. In that spirit, we say to our fellow Americans, “Come with your convictions, your willingness to listen, and your readiness to talk with others who disagree with you.”

Braver Angels Central Texas https://www.braverangelscentraltexas.org/

Political polarization is tearing our nation apart.  ​

In Central Texas, we feel polarization acutely. We are a liberal metro city in a conservative border state. Our political conversations can quickly devolve into “us” versus “them”. The national bipartisan organization, Braver Angels, seeks to unite “reds” and “blues,” so they can listen to and respect each other even while they disagree.

Our local chapter of Braver Angels, Braver Angels Central Texas, serves this same mission. We engage our community through workshops, debates, Alliance meetings and presentations with the following goals in mind:

  • ​​We try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it.
  • We support the principles of civil discourse that bring us together rather than divide us.
  • We use friendly engagement with those we disagree with, looking for common ground and ways to work together; we will never ask you to change your mind

Charles Wolfe, citizen volunteer for NO Labels and John Wood, Jr., National Ambassador for Braver Angels explain their organizations’ missions to help our nation, friends and family to bring back civil discourse, respectful dialog, and valuing one another’s differences
