About #WeTheCivic
#WeTheCivic: America 250 is rooted in collective, community partnerships. Coordinated by Nonprofit Quarterly, current partners include Liberation Ventures, The 19th News Network, the Institute for Nonprofit News, and the National Council of Nonprofits.
We are actively seeking coalition partners: nonprofit organizations, advocacy networks, independent newsrooms, narrative funders, and organizers of all backgrounds who believe democracy's story belongs to everyone.
Our goal is to spread the stories, impact, and celebration of the nonprofit sector workers, organizations, activists and funders doing democracy’s daily work this America 250 season.
The #WeTheCivic Newsroom Network
A cross-sector coalition of independent media organizations, nonprofit newsrooms, and civic institutions have committed to publishing stories of local nonprofits defending democracy and impacting their communities on or around July 4, 2026.
The network will be explicitly designed to ensure this is a national journalism movement, not a coastal or urban one, available through the written word, radio, or video. NPQ will commit to republishing and amplifying local and independent newsroom and narrative platform coverage of #WeTheCivic stories
