A CIVICS REMIX
Civics Is Sexy is building a comprehensive ecosystem that reimagines civic education for the TikTok era, where trust in institutions is eroded, traditional curricula feel irrelevant, and the masses are more engaged with culture than civics. Civics Is Sexy brings civics to where young people already are–online and in communities–using arts, culture, and story as an emotionally resonant entry way into civic engagement.

DISINFORMATION INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS
F.A.C.T.S. is an interactive media-literacy experience designed to help people better understand how information moves, emotions are amplified, and narratives are shaped in today’s digital landscape. Created by Civics Is Sexy, F.A.C.T.S. equips participants with practical tools to identify misinformation, recognize bias, and navigate social media with greater confidence and clarity.
Through guided discussion, real-world examples, and participatory exercises, F.A.C.T.S. explores how attention has become currency — and how outrage, fear, and identity are often leveraged to drive engagement. Rather than telling people what to think, the program focuses on how to think: asking better questions, slowing down reaction cycles, and strengthening critical judgment.
F.A.C.T.S. is ideal for colleges, universities, organizations, and community groups seeking an engaging, non-partisan approach to media literacy and civic awareness.
