Honoring Senator McCain Through #ActsOfCivility

Senator McCain didn’t always agree with his colleagues in Congress, but he always respected them. There was nothing he enjoyed more than debating the most pressing issues of the time on the floor of the Senate with his good friend, the late Senator Ted Kennedy, shaking hands at the end of their discussion, and then sharing lunch with one another as friends. Sadly, this type of civil engagement is all too rare lately. But we can do something to help reignite a spirit of civility.



To celebrate the life and legacy of Senator McCain, the McCain family and McCain Institute are undertaking and promoting acts of civility and you're invited to engage in this effort with them.

Commit to something larger than yourself. Reach across the aisle. Break the barrier. Come together for civil engagement #ActsOfCivility https://t.co/lMb4ar7Qq9 — Cindy McCain (@cindymccain) August 21, 2019 Join me this week as I remember and celebrate the life and legacy of my dad, Sen.
