Safeguarding American Democracy:
Civic Literacy for a Secure Nation
|
October 5, 2023 | 11:00 a.m. EDT

|
|
|
A significant number of today’s K-12 students will enter college and the workforce without the civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions that they need to fully participate in our constitutional democracy. Lack of civic readiness among young Americans undermines civil discourse, increases alienation and polarization, and makes us more susceptible to misinformation and disinformation. As a result, a growing body of civil society leaders and policymakers have been making the case that the lack of civic readiness among Americans poses a threat to our national security. Join us to discuss what is at stake and explore promising solutions to promote lifelong
civic learning.
