As a supporter of civic education who is committed to our democratic republic and our nation’s young people, we are asking you to reach out to Senator Roger Wicker and urge him to support the
Civics Secures Democracy Act (Links to an external site.)
, a $1 billion annual investment in U.S. history and civic education over five years that will empower students to participate in our constitutional democracy.
This game-changing bipartisan legislation will soon be reintroduced in Congress, and we are asking you to urge Senator Wicker to co-sponsor this bill, which has been newly revised to include pay-fors and will not add to the federal deficit. It is crucial that Senator Wicker hears from grassroots supporters like you either in a meeting or by email and/or phone.
