Why Should I Care About the Semiquincentennial? A User-Centered U.S. 250th – and Beyond – for the Youth Wave.

America’s 250th is comingβ€”but many young people don’t believe it’s for them.

A new piece by Caroline Klibanoff makes the case that the semiquincentennial should be a turning point for rebuilding trust and designing civic life with the next generation, not just for them. πŸ‘€ https://ow.ly/HWf250Y3Muo

β€œWe’re better than this” gets said a lot in the face of authoritarian creep and democratic backsliding. All-America Cities show it’s not just talk, it’s happening locally.

If your community is strengthening civic health and rebuilding trust, apply for #AAC2026 by Feb 26.
