There are many issues that effect each of our lives yet we are often not aware of them until it is too late. Serenade believes
that civics classes for all is the vehicle for each citizen having a complete civics education. Through having classes, programs,
and materials on a subject, one begins to build a foundation and starts acquiring knowledge. But true education begins when
applied to a situation and integrating it with ones' roots and community. That is all a citizen needs to do - their share.
The purpose for Civics Classes is to educate and enligten citizens on their infinite power to use democracy on a daily
basis. Our vision is to create a series of classes that evoke conversation and build confidence that The United States of
America can have the best government system when we all do our share. We offer this to our educational systems;
our schools and libraries, the proper places(besides home) for democracy to be taught, discussed, debated, and experienced.
We look forward to true free and equal speech and access to all government depository items twenty four hours a day, everyday.
We see more books, more manuscripts, more audiovisuals on democracy shaping our minds at libraries. We want the return of
Department of Civics in libraries. We desire to create a sacred space for expression for anyone who joins in hope and peace;
no matter who you are, what your age is, or what background you possess. It is, "For the people by the people."
Civics classes can initiate the natural path of spiritually-based political activism. The citizen circle format is whle,
divine. Civics Class Circles use an adopted version of the traditional citizen circle. The Civics Class Circle invites people
by offering the education they so desire, and being introduced to other things that they didn't know they desire even more.
This project brings awareness, and returns democracy to its places of origin.

The vision is that the series of civics classes planned for Serenade evoke conversation and build confidence that the citizens
of each neighborhood, town, and city can have the best government system when we all do our portion. Serenade will offer these
classes at no charge to our educational systems; schools and libraries. Besides at home, these are proper places for democracy
to be taught, discussed, debated, and experienced. Baltimoreans as well as other United States country people surely look
forward to true free and equal speech and access to all government depository items twenty-four hours a day. Returning Department
of Civics to libraries with more books, manuscripts, and audiovisuals on democracy will shape our minds and hearts. The desire
to create a sacred space for expression for anyone who joins in hope and peace; no matter who you are, what your age is, or
what background you possess. Indeed, "For the people by the people."
To bridge non-partisan political groups who often offer literature geared to assist the individual, yet either don't have
the resources or the vision to help people who are in disadvantaged communities, with organizations whose main objective is
getting a lot of people to show up to planned events centered around issues, is not as hard as it seems. Yet beliefs need
to change. Politicians view numbers of people as strength, power. It however does not serve the many who don't know individual
power. The message the populace hears is, "We don't believe in you, or care about you. You have no individual voice and
numbers are key to accomplishments." If individuals were taught, encouraged, and tutored to write letters, telephone
their politicians, expressing mind and heart, as well as showing up physically, spontaneous healing would occur simply because
each person was fully present with their energy.
