Signature Event for the State of Pennsylvania

2nd Annual “Pennsylvania Day of Civility”

 

Harrisburg, PA – Governor Tom Wolf will issue a proclamation naming Wednesday, November 13, 2019 “Pennsylvania Day of Civility.” The day, recommended by the National Civility Foundation, will be the second official day of its kind in the Commonwealth.

The purpose of designating a Day of Civility is to have every person in every family, every company … consciously perform a random act of kindness. Day of Civility is timely given our coarse global climate and particularly fitting as we enter the Thanksgiving holiday season. Thanksgiving is the time when families, friends, new friends and even random people in our lives will come together and acknowledge those who have touched our lives and lifted our spirits by a thoughtful, simple random act of kindness. This day also coincides with World Kindness Day, which falls annually on November 13^th

Please join Governor Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and Governor Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, who has also issued a Proclamation for Massachusetts Day of Civility, to create awareness, encourage participation and lead this effort by performing a random act of kindness.

It is our great hope that by promoting the intentional practice of considerate personal interactions with others that we will bring civility, respect and a deeper sense of community into our daily lives.
