Amidst our already busy schedules, many may wonder: Why is it important to make time for civic education?
The idea of American self-government is enshrined in the first three words of our constitution with the statement “We the people”. In an age of increasing political polarization, civic education provides a remedy and helps ensure the future of our democracy.
Democracy is dependent on us, the citizens of this country, to participate in it. Now more than ever, it is essential that the American people understand their own rights and how our system of government works. Equipped with this knowledge, every American can participate in democracy and we can be confident in our next generation of leaders.
By spending just a few minutes on Civicly each day, you can become a more educated citizen of our country and help pave the way for a brighter future for American democracy. With the future of the nation in our hands, Civicly provides an accessible, engaging way for you to gain the civics knowledge you need.
Happy Learning!
