Reinventing American Democracy: civic culture event

The Arizona Civic Life Partnership (a collaboration between CFA and the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership at the Flinn Foundation) is welcoming our partners at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences to Phoenix to host a day-long event on Friday, February 3 for leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors. It will highlight inspiring work in our community focused on creating a more resilient civic culture and a renewed commitment to constitutional democracy.

This event follows up on listening sessions held in Phoenix in 2019 that were instrumental in shaping a ground-breaking report from the Academy’s Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship, Our Common Purpose: Reinventing American Democracy for the 21st Century. The report offers 31 ambitious recommendations to strengthen American democracy.
