What role should civic organizations play in strengthening American democracy?

Brian Hooks (Stand Together), David Bobb (Bill of Rights Institute), and Layla Zaidane (Future Caucus) discuss civic engagement, bridging political divides, and rebuilding trust in American institutions. Moderated by John Bridgeland.

Inspired by President Ronald Reagan's belief that Americans can disagree without being disagreeable, the Reagan Civility & Democracy Forum (RCDF) convenes leaders from across the country to explore the ideas and conversations shaping America's future.

RCDF was made possible by the exclusive support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). We are working together to build the next generation of civic leaders.
