even on the hardest topics — with Kindness, Integrity, Respect, Empathy, Agreements, and Listening.
Which side of history do you want to be on?
The National Presidential Youth Convention
On January 11, 2024, we launched this national campaign at the Concord, NH, City Auditorium — live in-person and streamed across the country — to boldly and non-partisanly push back against incivility.

Pushing Back Against Incivility
In a purposely non-partisan way, we are bringing back Civility to America. We're convening students from around the country to ask Americans of all ages to look themselves in the mirror and ask:
"What side of this discussion do you want to be on —
the Civil side, or the Uncivil side?"
We are bringing forth a solution to challenge the voices of the uncivil. We are problem solvers — not finger-pointers.

- Civility must be embedded in the teaching of Civics and Social Studies
- Students can lead the Civility Movement across America
- Civil discourse is a learnable skill, not a lost art
- Solutions come from the table — not from leaving it
- Civics courses should be renamed Civics and Civility
