2022 Civic Season

There is no “we the people” without all the people. Between Juneteenth and the Fourth of July, it’s time to turn out and turn up the volume on our story—in all of its complexity.

We’re imagining a new kind of summer tradition to strengthen our democracy, and we invite you to help us shape it.
