OAS Civic Discourse Action Network

A connective infrastructure to facilitate cooperation between our citizens and civic institutions.

The Civic Discourse Action Network is building a coordinated ecosystem of civic associations and grassroots infrastructure dedicated to restoring norms of goodwill and respect in American civic life.

It will hold in-person conversations, debates and symposia across key areas of American life, building toward a constructive, shared account of what it means to be American. Young people will be central to those conversations.

As a link between our institutions and our people, it aims to revitalize the public sphere by bringing institutional leaders and ordinary citizens into closer contact.
