Bill > AR122

This Resolution designates November 13, 2019, as "Day of Civility" in New Jersey, recognizing that divisive rhetoric has become a significant problem in American society, with a vast majority of Americans experiencing and blaming politicians for the erosion of politeness and courtesy, which they define as civility. The resolution highlights that incivility is frequently encountered and can lead to negative consequences like intimidation and harassment, while civility is believed to benefit society by fostering national pride and easing conflict. In conjunction with "World Kindness Day," which also falls on November 13th, this day is intended to encourage New Jersey citizens to participate in educational programs and activities that promote civility, and copies of the resolution will be sent to various educational and governmental organizations within the state.
