Get Engaged
There is no silver bullet to fix what ails our democracy. Rather, the FixUS solution rests on the idea that meaningful change will result from a critical mass of Americans who take responsibility for changing how we engage - with each other, within our community, and in service of our nation. FixUS provides citizens with opportunities to engage, and has developed the following resources for individuals looking to affect change at the individual, community, and national levels.
