Yet, organizations from over eighty countries have agreed to join forces and stand together for change.
The Council of Communication Associations is an umbrella organization that currently includes six national and international communication associations. CCA was created to enhance the mission and facilitate the activities of its member associations, and to promote understanding and advancement of communication as an academic discipline.
The Teaching for Democracy Alliance is creating opportunities for teachers to learn about existing election and voting materials, related professional development, and a strong collective voice for democratic learning that will help teachers overcome the partisan noise and equip them to bring practical democracy lessons to their students.
Educating for American Democracy is an unprecedented effort that convened a diverse and cross-ideological group of scholars and educators to create a Roadmap to Educating for American Democracy— guidance and an inquiry framework that states, local school districts, and educators can use to transform teaching of history and civics to meet the needs of a diverse 21st century K–12 student body.
CivXNow, a project of iCivics, is the nation’s largest cross-partisan Coalition created to fuel our constitutional democracy through K-12 civic education. Recognizing that preparing youth to assume the responsibilities and understand their rights as active participants in the civic life is essential to the health of our democratic republic, the CivXNow Coalition pledges to help every K-12 school in the nation fulfill their historic and vital civic mission.
Learn from History is a Coalition of organizations that represent millions of parents, educators, students and other Americans of goodwill that support schools providing a thorough, accurate, and fact-based history education, and to teach students to reject racism and have respect the equal value of every person.
