Dear friend,

I am pleased to share with you the Jack Miller Center’s 2024 Annual Report. ([link removed])

We chose “Welcome to the Civics Renaissance” as the theme for this Annual Report. What do we mean by that?

The “Civics Renaissance,” refers to the rebirth of education in the documents, history, and ideas we share as Americans.

This movement is gaining momentum across the country, from public universities establishing schools of civic thought and leadership ([link removed]) to private institutions like Stanford and Johns Hopkins reinvesting in civic education.

It’s the launch of our new graduate consortium ([link removed]) for K–12 teachers, providing them with access to rigorous, content-rich graduate courses designed specifically to enhance their teaching.

It’s our expansion of programs that supportcommunity college faculty ([link removed]) —who educate 41% of American undergraduates—in delivering a strong foundation in the American political tradition.

It’s a revival of the humanities and American history ([link removed]) on college campuses after decades of neglect.

It’s the formation of a cross-partisan coalition of educators united by a belief in the American proposition and a desire to depolarize civics.

And finally, it’s what JMC chair of the board Michael Weiser calls “civic education worthy of America’s 250th birthday,” ([link removed]) a commemoration that begins in 2026 and continues through the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution in 2037. The Jack Miller Center will celebrate with the 2026 National Summit on Civic Education ([link removed]) , “The Words that Changed the World," on May 18-19 in Philadelphia on Independence Mall—the place it all began.

There is great reason for hope—and you’ll find it throughout the pages of our Annual Report. Thank you for standing with us and making so much of this work possible. If you’d like to support our work in 2025, I hope you’ll consider making a contribution ([link removed]) today.

And I hope you’ll join us as we take up Ben Franklin’s famous challenge ([link removed]) at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, 250 years later: “A republic, if you can keep it.”

With gratitude,
