Today, you can take one simple action to ensure that 6,000 Indiana youth understand and apply the principles of our nation’s most revered document – the U.S. Constitution.
A 2009 national survey* highlighted an astonishing ignorance of our tripartite government. Fully 45 percent of the respondents were unable to name even one of the three branches of government.
We have the solution.
Please join us in support of An Hour for Civics, which raises funds for the We the People and Project Citizen civic education programs. A contribution equal to just one billable hour is all we’re asking from each attorney.
The Bar Foundation and the Indiana State Bar Association have long partnered to bring civics education to Hoosier students. The Foundation has assumed responsibility for the civics programs and we, as attorneys, have a responsibility to ensure their sustainability and growth.
Our kids depend on it.
Our civics programs have become national leaders because of volunteer attorneys like you. The commitment you have shown is truly unparalleled.
Your support is crucial. Please consider pledging your support now for the We the People and Project Citizen programs and join us in giving An Hour for Civics.
Sincerely,
Robert C. Beasley
President
Indiana Bar Foundation
Jeffry Lind
President
Indiana State Bar Association
