We discuss why joining a club or an association is the glue that binds civic society to democracy. They are the classrooms for our citizenship!

Pete's civic action toolkit recommendations are:

1. Join a club!

2. Re-inhabit the world that you're in, by learning about it.

Pete Davis is a bestselling author of Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age of Infinite Browsing, the founder of the Democracy Policy Network, and the co-director of Join or Die, a film about why you should join a club and why the fate of America depends on it.
