Welcome. We're glad you're here.
The Frances Marshall Project is a calm, non-partisan civic education initiative—built on the belief that accurate, reliable sources and respectful conversation can help Americans feel grounded, informed, and united as we approach the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
Purpose: encourage informed voting, fact-checking, civic responsibility, and respectful engagement—without partisan framing.
A quick reality check (and a hopeful one)
If you're thinking "Something feels off—people seem divided, and I'm not sure what to believe anymore," you're not alone. Here are trustworthy practical starting points.
-
Prefer primary sources whenever possible (the Constitution, voting rules, official records).
-
Verify before sharing—and reward accuracy, not outrage.
-
Talk with curiosity: ask questions, listen for values, and keep relationships bigger than arguments.

Frances Marshall
Frances Marshall is a direct descendant of Chief Justice John Marshall (1755–1835). “Frances” is also the first name of her Swedish grandmother—one of fourteen children born to an immigrant family that settled in the Midwest at the turn of the 20th century.
Raised in a decidedly liberal environment, Frances is a musician and artist who often votes Republican—an independent-minded citizen who doesn’t fit neatly into stereotypes. The Frances Marshall Project exists to make it easier for everyday Americans to learn, verify, and participate with confidence.
