U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission Playbook 2023-2026
This Playbook outlines the national programming for the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission's America250 initiative, commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary. The multi-year plan, which began in 2023, aims to engage all Americans by 2026 to reflect on the past, strengthen national values, and renew commitment to founding principles. Key strategic pillars, referred to as 'movements,' include 'America's Field Trip' for student engagement, 'Our American Story' for oral history collection, 'America Gives' for volunteerism, 'America Innovates' to showcase breakthroughs, and 'America Waves' for fostering national unity. The plan also details major July 4th celebrations as unifying 'moments,' designed to create lasting engagement and connect Americans.
