Reimagining Civic Education

in support of constitutional democracy

There has been disinvestment in civic education in the United States for decades.

ONLY 32%

of U.S. adults feel pride in the American political system.

1 in 4

young people believe “choosing leaders through free elections" is unimportant.

WE ARE HERE TO CHANGE THAT

our vision

67%

A supermajority of the population (at least 67%) will believe democracy is essential and will feel confident they have the knowledge, capacities and skills they need to participate in civic life.
