Over the course of six months, beginning in January 2020, the inaugural class of Civics Unplugged Fellows learned the fundamentals of systems thinking, personal development, democratic theory, and community building. Each Fellow also created a 10-year pledge outlining their personal contributions to building the future of American democracy throughout the 2020s.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content A group of Fellows contributed to the drafting of the Civics 2030 Declaration, which outlined the Fellows' vision for American democracy by 2030 and serves as the founding document for Civics Unplugged's Civics 2030 Campaign.[4]
