TAKE THE PLEDGE
Pledge your commitment to increasing the levels of civility and civic literacy in Orange County.
Because - Civility in public discourse, and the ability of people to listen to one another and treat each other with courtesy, are essential to a viable democracy and should be increased for everyone’s mutual benefit
Because - The level of civic literacy - knowledge of the structure of the United States government and its history and understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship - should be increased
Because - We wish to defend and protect these rights in order to promote a More Perfect Union and the self-evident truths recognized by our nation’s Founders: that each of us is created equal and endowed with the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Commit yourself to making a change in your community.
