Established in 1994 as a joint project of the Institute for the Study of Civic Values and the Center for Civic Networking, civic-values supports an ongoing
national--even international--dialogue on public issues, especially as they relate to the basic principles of American democracy.
The framework of the discussion is guided by the philosophy of civic idealism advanced by ISCV--with an emphasis on building community, expanding opportunity, and
strengthening democracy. The participants in civic-values share a commitment to both grassroots organizing and activist government in working to achieve our historic ideals, but there is ongoing debate on
the list as to the most effective strategies needed to achieve these goals.
This is a high-volume discussion list, with participants from all sections of the country and beyond. Not everyone wants to engage in debate online,
but if you do, you won´t find a better list than civic-values.
