Article I — Historical Commitment to Accessibility

The Third Continental Congress of the United States of America—styled the Civic Congress—is a voluntary, citizen-led assembly. It is not a government body and holds no governing authority. Its mission is to uphold constitutional rights and to strengthen and expand lawful direct democracy within the representative system. The Civic Congress promotes initiatives, referenda, popular assemblies, and other lawful forms of citizen participation, uniting “We the People” across the States, the Federal District, the Territories, and the Tribal Nations of the United States. Only individual citizens legally registered to vote may act in an official capacity when filing, sponsoring, or signing ballot initiatives, referenda, or recalls, in full compliance with applicable state and federal election laws:

Resolved, That—

​

For purposes of these instruments, the name(s) The Continental Congress of the United States of America (“We the People,” “The People,” “The Continental Congress,” “The Continental Congress Project, LLC,” “Continental Congress Project,” “The Third Continental Congress,” “The Civic Congress,” “Civic Congress,” “civiccongress.us,” “Direct Democracy Movement,” “Project 2026,” “Nationwide Initiative Marking The 250th Anniversary Of The United States,” “we,” “our,” “us”) shall denote the same nonpartisan, citizen-led assembly of the people, convened for the promotion of direct democracy. The Continental Congress of the United States of America affirms its commitment that every person—regardless of age, background, means, language, or ability—shall have access to, and a voice within, the digital civic experience, enabling lawful participation in direct democracy and civic deliberation. The Congress shall sustain a welcoming, equitable, and legally compliant platform for public education, discussion, proposal drafting, and civic self-governance, thereby facilitating direct democracy within the existing representative system.

 

Article II — Standards and Guidelines

Whereas, recognized accessibility standards advance equal participation and clarify duties of design and maintenance:

Resolved, That—

​

The Congress endeavors to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), ensuring that all citizens may lawfully exercise their rights to engage, deliberate, and vote. Standards shall guide the operability, understandability, and robustness of all public web content, including compatibility with assistive technologies (screen readers, alternative input devices, captioning tools). Guidelines shall be reviewed and updated periodically as best practices evolve.

​

Article III — Accessibility Features

Whereas, practical measures are necessary to make access real and not merely aspirational:

Resolved, That—

​

  1. Text alternatives shall be provided for all non-text content.

  2. Color contrast shall be sufficient for readability.

  3. Full keyboard navigation shall be supported.

  4. Public content shall employ clear and plain language.

  5. Compatibility with screen-reading software shall be maintained.

  6. Forms shall be accessible, with properly labeled fields and instructions.

  7. Digital infrastructure shall be tested regularly, including in response to user feedback, to ensure lawful and effective participation in civic activities.

​

Article IV — Ongoing Efforts

Whereas, accessibility is an ongoing civic responsibility:

Resolved, That—

​

The Civic Congress shall actively monitor, assess, and improve accessibility across all digital materials and platforms to enable citizens to exercise their constitutional rights to participation and direct democracy. Public feedback shall be treated as essential to continuous improvement, reflecting the principle that self-governance depends on active, informed, and accessible participation.

​

Article V — Known Limitations

Whereas, some materials may not yet meet optimal standards:

Resolved, That—

​

Legacy documents, multimedia, and third-party materials may require review or remediation; such materials shall be prioritized and addressed as resources permit, without undue delay, in alignment with the mission of the Civic Congress to facilitate ongoing lawful citizen engagement.

 

Article VI — Feedback and Assistance

Whereas, lawful participation requires responsive support:

Resolved, That—

​

Participants are invited to report barriers, request alternate formats, or offer recommendations; inquiries shall be addressed promptly and respectfully. Reasonable accommodations shall be provided consistent with available resources, privacy, and security safeguards, ensuring full access to civic participation of direct democracy.

​

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 following individual is designated as Madam Chair & Founding Civic Engagement Liaison and primary Point of Contact for this civic assembly, tasked with facilitating citizen engagement, supporting lawful proposals and initiatives, and ensuring open channels for participation in deliberation and civic education in direct democracy:

  1. Civic Congress includes public-interest links to major civic and political fundraising platforms, notably ActBlue.com, widely recognized as a primary tool used by organizations and movements aligned with the “No Kings” initiative (i.e. Mobilize.US, etc.). These references are provided solely for informational and educational purposes, in accordance with permissions granted by their respective publishers. In recognition of the significant role in supporting transparent and lawful civic engagement, the Civic Congress may predominantly reference such related link(s) when addressing matters of political fundraising, without implying any official affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship.

  2. CivicCongress.US operates on an honor-based Founders Membership system supporting the hosting, outreach, and coordination led by The Continental Congress Project, LLC. Its ongoing mission is to build the largest recognized grassroots coalition in the nation, enabling community participants, contributors, and coordinators to collaborate and help sustain the project as they are financially able.

  4. ​Independent Volunteer Contributors are not “volunteers” in the nonprofit sense with respect to The Continental Congress Project, LLC, due to applicable labor laws.

All such participants must review, understand, and sign — with notarization — a Community Collaboration Agreement acknowledging that their role is civic and collaborative in nature, not employment-based, and intended solely to help advance a lawful public-interest purpose.

  5. Mission-aligned external links — aside from those used for membership fees, merchandise, or other transactions for profit — are provided strictly for reference, research, public benefit, and educational purposes. Linking or referencing such sources does not imply endorsement and remains subject to their respective licenses. Founding Members may, at their own discretion, choose to support or donate directly to vetted featured speakers during sessions. The Continental Congress Project, LLC may express political opinions, support partisan causes and issues, or partner with vetted, mission-aligned nonprofit organizations protected under free speech, but cannot directly collect, handle, or process any form of external funding.
