We are living in a time of deep polarization in our politics and in our communities. Public trust in institutions and in one another has fallen to alarmingly low levels; political rhetoric is increasingly toxic; divisiveness has fomented into discord; and tragically, threats and acts of political violence are on the rise. Many people are discouraged, disheartened - and may even feel despair. 

 In these times, Citizens League’s mission and work are important antidotes to create hope and encourage positive civic engagement. 

A focus on working together to find solutions, being civically engaged, and creating space for honest dialogue on important topics has always been the driving force behind the Citizens League’s work. 

Your donation has an impact in Minnesota!

Your donations power Citizens League's work to:

• Build relationships, bridge divides and work towards effective state governance through our new MN Legislative Exchange initiative
• Support the next generation of leaders through our Capitol Pathways internship program
• Offer engaging public policy learning events that represent diverse points of view on timely topics

Your Give to the Max Day gift will propel our work!

As a nonpartisan, grassroots nonprofit, Citizens League relies on the support of donors just like you. Together, we’ll keep building a more hopeful, positive and collaborative approach to public policy and civic life in Minnesota.

With your donation to Citizens League, you are contributing to our work as accelerators: helping people understand the issues, creating opportunities to be active in the public policy making process, empowering the next generation of young leaders, and building relationships and partnerships that challenge the status quo of political division and polarization.

Citizens League is staying true to our roots: convening important conversations, diving into critical policy research, and creating new opportunities for civic engagement. . .. And, we're looking to the future with optimism, bold ideas, and a commitment to meeting the challenges of the moment. 

Thank you for your support!
