A Note from the Editor

President's Letter to the Membership

I dream of a day when our organization is not needed, when all members of our society value the right to vote as much as we do. A world where truth is honored, honor is valued, and the members of our society strive to provide the best for one another no matter what color, religion, creed, or identity. A world where civics is taught from the first step a kindergartner takes into the classroom to the final words of their graduation speech. Where civic participation begins in school and ends with a last breath.

Until that day, we must continue to work together to Empower Voters and Defend Democracy. The need for our work has never been greater.

It has been my honor to work with this incredible, passionate group of people. Thank you.
