The resolution addresses the growing concern over political polarization and its impact on personal relationships, particularly during the holiday season when discussions about politics often lead to disagreements. It highlights that a significant number of adults are hesitant to engage in political conversations due to fear of conflict, with many experiencing strained relationships as a result. The resolution also points out that young adults are increasingly feeling lonely and that the decline in respectful political debate has contributed to a loss of shared identity among citizens, which is essential for fostering a unified nation.

In response to these challenges, the resolution emphasizes the importance of civic health, which allows individuals to maintain positive relationships despite differing political views. It calls for engaging in shared activities to build connections across political divides and stresses the need for improved civic education to counteract polarization. The Washington State Legislature is recognized for its bipartisan efforts to promote civil discourse, and the resolution concludes by celebrating civic health and expressing gratitude to those working to foster civic engagement among the youth in Washington State.
