Great news! @ModernizeCmte was widely recognized as one of most functional, bipartisan, and innovative in Congress, even doing a Deliberative Town Hall with IDEA and a rep sample of citizens on how to improve Congress. Hopeful the subcommittee will continue to make progress!
Today’s news that the modernization efforts of the 116th and 117th Congresses will continue in the form of a subcommittee in the 118th Congress is a win for the institution, the public servants who work there, and the people they serve.

Former KF resident Seth Odongo reflects on the important role deliberation can play in a political culture. Debate, he says, encourages winners and losers, but it does not always lead to understanding or working together. vimeo.com/553429923

Civic engagement is not a privilege, it's a right for every American who wants to make a difference in their community.
The committee and its members will continue to work towards lowering barriers & expanding those opportunities for all Americans. #ModernizeCongress

Our very own @NicoleCurato talks about deliberative voting and calls for the agonistic friend-adversary dichotomy as antidote to cancel culture.
