#45 Eric Liu: Fostering Civic Imagination and Responsible Citizenship

  • Resumen

  • Eric Liu is the co-founder and CEO of Citizen University, Director of the Aspen Institute’s Citizenship & American Identity Program, author of several popular books, and former White House speechwriter for President Bill Clinton and later as the President’s deputy domestic policy adviser. He has served as a board member of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Washington State Board of Education, and the Seattle Public Library. He is a co-founder of the Alliance for Gun Responsibility.

    Eric addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:

    • That Citizen University is working to foster a culture of powerful citizenship
    • That “all great endeavors are collective endeavors”
    • The “incredible surge of mutual aid” we’ve seen during the pandemic
    • The importance of civic catalysts, who “may not have the title, authority or formal office of a leader, but they're the ones who make it happen.”
    • That “you can't possibly change another person's mind if you yourself aren't willing to have your own mind changed or your own heart opened.”
