“I’m not running for office. But I am on a nationwide campaign to show our country a better path forward.”

- Rich Harwood

 

Over two-thirds of Americans are exhausted by politics and dissatisfied with our presidential candidates. Mistrust is growing, hope is flagging. It’s clear that politics today do not hold the solution to America’s challenges. But there’s a way out of the mess we’re in. 

Enough! It’s time to build together.

Community building expert Rich Harwood is on a civic campaign to show communities a real path forward beyond our nasty politics. His message of practical hope calls on each of us to reclaim the public square from divisive forces and unleash our capacity as builders.

If you want to be part of a national movement of active citizens focused on moving our communities forward, join this campaign. Together, we can turn this country around.

“The most prophetic message…”
“Rich is a civic evangelist…”
“Rich reminds us certain values transcend our differences…”
“Couldn’t be more timely or necessary…”
“A beacon of hope…”
“The movement [we] need…”

Campaign Announcement

Enough Divisive Politics. We Need a Civic Path.

It’s Time for a Civic Rally

An Entreaty to Go Together

The Latest from the Campaign Trail

Rich and this campaign are crisscrossing the country this year to inspire and mobilize communities. Follow along — we want you with us every step of the way.

Media Coverage

PBS NewsHour’s “America at a Crossroads” series—hosted by acclaimed journalist Judy Woodruff—aired a feature-length segment that presented our campaign’s case for why the country needs a civic path forward, not more politics. They did so through the lens of our ongoing work in Alamance County, which is just one of the iconic communities where we’re working deeply to demonstrate that in the face of real divisions, Americans have the public will and ability to make real progress on society’s fault lines.

JOIN THE NEW CIVIC RALLY
It’s time to rethink what it means to rally! Amid our nasty politics, we need a space that builds us up, not further divides us. That nourishes us, not perpetuates negativity. That rallies us around one another and the good work happening in our communities. That restores a sense of possibility and hope. So we created the Civic Rally, hosted by Rich Harwood. Come as you are and join us every other Friday at 1pm EST to be nourished and supported as we work to build our communities.
