Welcome to Civic Season!
July 4th commemorates the moment a new nation was born, based on ideals that each generation since has worked to bring to life: freedom, equality, justice, and opportunity.
Juneteenth, celebrated just a few weeks earlier, reminds us of the struggles and hard-won victories in our ongoing journey to form a “more perfect union.”
Civic Season unites our oldest federal holiday with our newest, mobilizing a movement to understand our past and shape our future.
