Civics Magazine Fall 2026

Civics Magazine features voices across the civic education spectrum that make the case for a new era, one devoted to deeper learning and excellence in teaching.

In the latest issue, we explore the question: What does it mean to be an American? As our nation marked the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, that question was everywhere—and so were the partisan divisions that make it so hard to answer. Yet buried in the discord is a point of agreement: the country needs more civic education. This issue is a contribution to that project of civic education. The recommitment behind it is the real inheritance of this milestone year.
