Article I — Legal Protections and Independent Participation Notice

Whereas, the content, activities, and materials provided by The Continental Congress Project, LLC™ (operating as CivicCongress.US) and its affiliated initiative, the citizen-led Third Continental Congress (Civic Congress), are intended solely for informational, educational, civic, and expressive purposes. The LLC is a private, single-member limited liability company, not a governmental entity, political committee, or campaign, and it holds no authority to govern, legislate, or act on behalf of any public office, agency, or government. Participation in any programs, discussions, content, or events associated with the LLC is entirely voluntary and protected under the Constitution and applicable law. All content reflects progressive, partisan, and opinion-based commentary; advocacy for direct democracy, diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), environmental stewardship, human and animal rights, and social equality; and the rejection of authoritarian, discriminatory, or oppressive ideologies. The LLC does not solicit or process campaign contributions, and any personal partisan advocacy by its owner, Brooke Teal Robbins, is legally separate from the LLC’s operations. Nothing published by Civic Congress or Brooke Teal Robbins constitutes legal advice, financial advice, government instruction, or professional guidance. I am not an attorney, financial advisor, or election-law specialist, and all information is general, non-instructional commentary. Readers and participants are solely responsible for verifying applicable federal, state, territorial, and Tribal laws and ensuring their own compliance. All educational, civic, and advocacy efforts are independent, voluntary, symbolic, and expressive in nature, including any participation related to the commemoration of the United States’ 250th anniversary or other civic initiatives:

Article II — Standards, Guidelines, and ADA Commitment

Whereas, the Civic Congress is committed to ensuring that its website CivicCongress.US, as well as related social media links, remains accessible to all users, and strives to meet all applicable accessibility standards; and whereas, if any individual experiences accessibility barriers of any kind, they are encouraged to Contact Us, which The Continental Congress Project, LLC™ shall make reasonable accommodations in good faith; and whereas, the Civic Congress recognizes that accessibility standards advance equal participation and intends to clarify and uphold its duties of design, maintenance, and continual improvement whenever necessary:

Resolved, That—

The Civic Congress shall endeavor to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), to ensure that all citizens may lawfully exercise their rights to engage, deliberate, and participate in this platform for direct democracy. Accessibility standards shall guide the operability, understandability, and robustness of all public web content, including compatibility with assistive technologies such as screen readers, alternative input devices, and captioning tools. These guidelines shall be reviewed and updated periodically as best practices evolve and as technologies and accessibility expectations advance.
The Continental Congress Project, LLC™ is a private, for-profit entity. All content, features, and services are provided for informational, educational, and civic engagement purposes only. Participation in any activities, including browsing, downloading materials, or interacting with content, is entirely voluntary. Civic Congress does not provide legal, financial, or professional advice. This page’s accessibility measures are intended to support equitable access for all users; however, no guarantee is made that all content is fully compliant with all accessibility regulations in every jurisdiction. Users retain responsibility for compliance with applicable laws, and The Continental Congress Project, LLC™ assumes no liability for user actions, technical issues, or interactions with third-party content.
Participation in any Civic Congress activities — including browsing, downloading, or interacting with content — is voluntary and at the user’s discretion. Reasonable efforts are made to ensure accessibility; however, no guarantee of full compliance in all jurisdictions is expressed or implied. Engagement with CivicCongress.US constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these terms.

Article VII — Point of Contact

Whereas, this initiative seeks to establish an enduring civic assembly, not merely a symbolic event; and whereas, orderly correspondence is essential to lawful inquiries, public education, citizen deliberation, and press communication; and whereas, designating a point of contact creates no governmental office or legal agency, but serves solely to support the active participation and consent of the self-governed, and the advocacy of direct-democracy processes:

Resolved, That—

The contact information provided below is not a legal address for service of process and is offered solely for lawful, good-faith communication with the designated Point of Contact for the Civic Congress.
