On citizenship

If someone asked you to grade yourself as a citizen what would you say? What do you think are the responsibilities of a “good” citizen?

Take this quick survey!

It will take less than 10 minutes, and your answers will be anonymous.

We’ll unpack the results at a workshop on May 22 at the 2018 National Rural Assembly. This will be used in a participatory workshop at the Assembly that explores the nature of citizenship in the U.S., how we imagine it, how we practice it, and what we might learn from this discussion on how to heal our divides. We’ll unpack the nature of patriotism, what “freedom,” “justice” and “equality” mean, and reflect on current conservative and liberal proposals to amend the U.S. Constitution.
