The Braver Angels Delaware Alliance is working in our local communities by holding workshops, debates and public presentations designed to bridge the polarizing political divide we experience in our country. These events allow conservatives and liberals across the political spectrum to get past destructive stereotypes so we can have civil conversations about real issues that lead to productive problem-solving.

Marty also is a volunteer for the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, another non-profit, non-partisan
organization pursuing bi-partisan clean energy alternatives while embracing a core philosophy of respectful dialogue much like Braver Angels.
He and his wife, Mary Pat, live in Newark and are the parents of adult daughters, Katie Milam and Megan Hopkins.

Joanne has been actively involved with Braver Angels Delaware since 2025 and is especially interested in creating respectful spaces where people can listen deeply, speak honestly, and build greater understanding across political and ideological divides.
