S2072C - Strengthening Democracy: The Citizen’s Role
1 Session | Registration opens 1/12/2026 10:00 AM MST (Arizona)
This engaging community course draws from Richard Haass “The Bill of Obligations” to explore how everyday citizens can help sustain American democracy. Participants will examine ten key civic responsibilities—including being informed, engaging respectfully, and putting country over party—and reflect on how these obligations can be practiced in daily life. Through open dialogue and real-world examples, the class fosters a deeper understanding of how individual actions shape our shared future.
