It was inspiring to hear about all the work Hilary Crow (US Chamber) and other business leaders are doing to sustain our democracy by strengthening civic knowledge, skills, and engagement at all ages!

Teacher Appreciation Week: particular thanks to civics teachers. Not only are you playing a vital role in sustaining our democracy, you are engaging in an act of courage! Not easy teaching civics or Social studies in today's charged, polarized world. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Compelling case for businesses to step up and help sustain democracy. Hear how these business leaders are doing just that:csis.org/events/csis-ci…

Agree. It's not ' rule of law ' v free speech and freedom of assembly. Those rights are part of the rule of law as embodied in the Constitution. The balance is exercising those rights without unduly infringing on the rights of others. And accepting penalty for civil disobedience.

Great conversation with @judgeluttig and Melody Barnes about how to sustain our democracy and respect for the rule of law. Grateful to UVA Karsh Institute of Democracy for co-hosting this event!

The courts and the election are on a collision course that will test Americans' commitment to the rule of law. Join me in an important conversation with Judge Michel Luttig about how to sustain the rule of law and the role of businesses in civics education.

Be part of shaping a democratic future at the CSIS Civics at Work Summit. Engage with leaders and dive deep into the responsibilities of businesses in sustaining our democracy. In-person reception to follow.

Looking forward to welcoming David Rubenstein, Richard Haass, and a host of leaders from business and law to talk about the role businesses can and must play in strengthening civic knowledge, skills, and engagement as part of #Civics at Work.

More than one-third of all #CFATS inspections revealed security gaps at high-risk chemical facilities. Since CFATS expired, we haven’t been able to inspect more than 750 facilities, meaning around 250 may have unidentified security gaps. #ReauthorizeCFATS

ISIS-K feeling threatened by the coalescing support among Muslims for Hamas and other Iranian-backed groups, reminding Sunni’s that Shia groups do not represent them? And that they (ISIS-K) have not gone away.

The work Justice O’Connor started, to ensure that Americans understood and engaged in our democracy, has never been more important. K-12 education is essential, but so is reaching adults. Check out @csis Civics at Work. CSIS International Security Program

This is fucking awful. And to be clear, the cyclist died because a driver — who fled the scene later — was speeding and hit him.
