Civic Saturday

A Civic Saturday ...is about American civic religion – the values and ideals we profess to believe in as participants in this democratic republic – and about what it takes to build the muscles of power and character to thrust those beliefs into action.
– Eric Liu founder of Citizen University

UNC-Charlotte undergraduate Rebecca De Luna will lead the Civic Saturday that concludes The School of Good Citizenship at the Cone Center at the university. (Rebecca received a Citizen University fellowship to train as a Civic Seminarian this year.)

Civic Saturdays provide people a place to come together in civic community to reflect on and rededicate themselves to the values and practices of being a contributing member of civic life within the United States.

The purpose is to bring friends and strangers together to nurture a spirit of shared values and practices of being an active citizen, to reckon with and reflect on our nation’s creed, and build relationships that create new civic traditions that are joyful and communal.

Rebecca DeLunaRebecca De Luna recently completed her training as a Civic Seminarian. She will be leading the Civic Saturday sermon at UNC-Charlotte.

She is the Media Relations Specialist at Camino Community Center and is completing her undergraduate Psychology degree at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is a UNCC Bonner Leader and a North Carolina Campus Compact Community Impact Student Award recipient.

Rebecca has also served as a NextGen America Fellow for the North Carolina 9th District special election in 2019 and continues to work on voting rights advocacy.
