Educate. Empower. Choose.
Neighbors who want to learn the Bill of Rights — reading the amendments, checking public records, and deciding for themselves.
National American Citizen Association is a 501(c)(3) civic education nonprofit. Circles are study groups, not political chapters.
What a Circle is
A Circle is a small group of neighbors who meet (in person or online) to study the Bill of Rights — one amendment at a time — using public sources.
Educate: clear text, court landmarks on the public record, and plain context.
Empower: tools and reading so you can follow along.
Choose: you decide what the record means for you. We do not tell you how to vote.
Circles are not chapters, caucuses, or campaigns. Soft #2 / My Voter Card is a separate voter-information tool and is not part of Circles.
How it works
Join National American Citizen Association at Join.
Optionally answer a short post-Join survey (ZIP optional) if you want Circles updates.
We share the current Bill of Rights study materials and, when ready, help you find or form a Circle near you.
Study packet (Education — first reading)
Bill of Rights Circles — first reading packet
Neighbors who want to learn the Bill of Rights start here. A Circle reads primary sources together — the National Archives Bill of Rights text and the live National American Citizen Association Amendment pages — then talks about what the paper says. Educate with the document. Empower with rights fluency. Choose how to engage as a citizen. Circles are study groups; they are not a political party chapter.
Start every Circle (and every solo reader) at the hub:
The Bill of Rights
Primary source (open beside the hub):
National Archives — Bill of Rights transcript
First Circle spine (live pages):
The Bill of Rights
Amendment I — religion
Amendment I — speech
Amendment I — assembly and petition
Amendment V
Amendment VI
Amendment VII
Amendment VIII
Amendment IX
How a first Circle uses this: Before the meeting, each person opens the hub and the National Archives transcript. In the meeting, read one live Amendment page (start with Amendment I religion, or the hub overview if the group is new). Discuss what the text says and what the page cites — not party talking points. End with Educate. Empower. Choose. and the next live page on the list.
Still clearing (no fake URLs): press lane, Amendments II, III, IV, X — use Archives/Avalon until civic pages publish.
