Founding Debates

Visit George Washington's Mount Vernon where a panel of speakers, including General Stanley McChrystal, will explore five goals for democratic renewal as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence: (1) civic learning, (2) service and volunteering, (3) bridging divides, (4) trusted elections and responsive governance, and (5) trusted news information. Hear how we can revitalize our democracy and advance these five foundational democracy goals. This event, hosted by George Washington’s Mount Vernon and More Perfect, will be followed by a reception.
