‘E pluribus unum’ is not a slogan. It’s a choice.
The groups say 50-state lawmakers should rebuild trust and debate civilly as the nation’s largest legislative summit opens.
- The NCSL Legislative Summit brings together state legislators and staff from 50 states and territories in Chicago from July 27-29 to build connections and share policy ideas across the political spectrum.
- Partisanship and distrust have grown, with political parties appearing deadlocked in power struggles, according to National Conference of State Legislatures CEO Tim Storey and The Pew Charitable Trusts CEO Sue Urahn.
- As America honors its 250th anniversary, United States founders convened the Constitutional Convention in 1787, debating government structure while maintaining a shared vision of individual freedom and equality.
- Leaders encourage Americans to recommit to principles including the rule of law and representative democracy, embracing the motto 'E pluribus unum'—out of many, one—as a choice to overcome divisions.
- Whether to engage in political warfare or civil debate remains a choice for Americans, who can practice democracy by building local institutions where individuals connect personally and overcome defining silos.
