Inauguration of the Office of the Citizen of the United States
January 6, 2021
Today I launch the Office of the Citizen of the United States in order for 328 million of my fellow citizens to inhabit it. To reset our democracy. To set it on the right course.
This participatory art project invites us to utilize our social media spaces to intensify our sense of public purpose, civic duty, and connection to one another. By abandoning the weaponry of partisanship and assuming the mantle of citizen leadership, Americans are encouraged as individuals to animate democracy. To celebrate those who represent our will. And to admonish – even rebuke – those who deny us.
