Civic culture renews when citizens choose to renew it. I believe a healthy democracy and republic depend on citizens who treat one another with decency, honesty, and restraint.

 

By signing this pledge, I commit to:

 

• Treat fellow citizens with decency, even when we disagree
• Seek truth, question claims, and make a good-faith effort to verify               information before sharing it
• Practice restraint in public speech and civic engagement
• Consider the common good alongside personal or political interests
• Respect constitutional institutions and lawful democratic processes

 

I will strive to uphold these principles in my own conduct and encourage a culture of civility in my community.
