A citizen journey to make a more perfect union for all Americans 

Kids Running
Many Americans are feeling alienated from the political system. 
 
The Citizenism Project's goal is to empower citizens to make democracy function better. 

We envision an active, well-informed citizenry engaged in a  thriving American democracy that facilitates an opportunity for all Americans to flourish.  
We actively engage fellow citizens of all ages, in multiple settings in a non-partisan equitable manner through the introduction of a framework for deliberation,  live as well as digital events, a citizen toolbox,   civic resources and crowdsourcing activity by individuals and groups to promote the best in democratic life locally and nationally.

Here are 3 ways to take action right now
