A note from Tán
Principle comes from personal experience: civic knowledge shouldn't be locked behind jargon, privilege, or institutions. It should be something you can use — between shifts, on the train, whenever you have a few minutes. I'm not naive enough to think education alone will fix everything. But I hope it moves people to meaningful action that endures for the rest of their lives — and their families' lives.
