People’s Bill of Rights 250
Change the Nation from a House Party
No one is coming to save America. It’s on us, together, to change our country’s future.
What rights should belong to every person in America?
The People’s Bill of Rights 250 is asking everyday people to imagine the rights that should shape the next 250 years.
