Bart Oates, 3-time Super Bowl champ and president of the NFL Alumni, writes: “in the case of strengthening our democracy and solving our problems, it is not enough to just watch. We need all citizens to get off the sidelines and into the game. That is why NFL Alumni is partnering with The Citizens Campaign in its development of The Citizen Service. The service gives you the playbook and the know-how to take the field. It is designed to give every citizen the opportunity to take personal responsibility for renewing our democracy. It offers training that equips regular citizens to be no-blame problem solvers, working to leave our communities and country better than we found them.”
