Election night can feel like an emotional rollercoaster—especially this year.
As people who care about the future of our country and the health of our democracy, many of us may be feeling stressed, exhausted, or nervous.
But we also know that being together with people we love brings courage, confidence, and strength. That's why we've created this guide for everyday Americans to move through election night with purpose.

"I'm going to spend an hour with my family on Zoom — we're going to use the discussion questions to talk about our role in democracy, no matter the outcome of the election."

ABOUT CITIZEN UNIVERSITY
ABOUT CITIZEN UNIVERSITY
Our mission is to build a culture of powerful, responsible citizenship across the country. This happens on election night—and everyday after that!
We envision a great civic revival across our nation — our dream is a country in which Americans are steeped in a sense of civic character, educated in the tools of civic power, and are problem-solving contributors in a self-governing community.
We spread the belief that a strong democracy depends on strong citizens—that we all have the power to make change in civic life and the responsibility to try. We design gatherings, rituals, and workshops that focus on civic power and civic character as the building blocks of powerful citizenship. We then train and activate civic catalysts nationwide—people just like you—to bring the beliefs and practices of powerful, responsible citizenship to their communities.
