The oath took a minute.
The becoming takes longer.
Years of forms, lines, interviews, tests — then one raised hand, and you belong on paper. Nobody talks about the other half: two flags in one chest, a home country that lives in you, and a new one still learning your shape. Citizen Mirror is a private mirror for exactly that — it reflects what you say, asks one real question, and helps you write a constitution of your own. You studied theirs, after all.
Become someone you trust — on either side of the hyphen. Nothing you say is ever stored: each reflection happens in the moment and is discarded, and your sittings and your Constitution live only on this device. No account, no transcript on a server, and we hold nothing to hand over — after all those years of paperwork, nothing here is pending.
Begin here — one tap
What are you carrying?
Tap one and say the rest out loud — and if it comes in another language, typing carries it perfectly. Nothing you say needs to be tidy.
What a sitting looks like
Oath day
"Twelve years of paperwork, and the oath took ninety seconds. I held my little flag in the elevator afterward and cried where nobody could see."
What I heard
Twelve years arrived all at once. Ninety seconds couldn't hold it — that's what the elevator was for.
I wonder…
I wonder if the tears were the years finally getting counted — every line, every fee, every form nobody thanked you for surviving.
A question to sit with
Who from those twelve years deserves to hear what today meant — and what would you tell them?
For your Constitution
I earned this belonging; I don't re-earn it daily.
The test
"I studied a hundred civics questions. My coworkers, born here, couldn't answer half of them. I know this country's rules better than its own children do."
What I heard
You passed a test the native-born never sat.
I wonder…
I wonder if the studying built something the born-here never got to build — a citizenship chosen on purpose, clause by clause.
A question to sit with
What did you underline in their constitution that you'd want in your own?
For your Constitution
My citizenship is chosen, not inherited.
The visit home
"I went back last summer. My cousins called me the American. Here, I'm still the one with the accent. Both places think I'm the other one's."
What I heard
Two countries, each sure you belong to the other.
I wonder…
I wonder if between isn't a gap — it's a country of its own, and you've been building it for years.
A question to sit with
What belongs in the country that is just you — the one with two anthems?
For your Constitution
Between is a country, and I hold its passport.
For citizenship classes, clinics & welcome orgs
Citizenship teachers, naturalization legal clinics, welcome centers, ESL programs, mutual-aid networks: your work ends at the ceremony — the mirror picks up the identity half that starts there. It is a mirror, not a lawyer and not a government anything: no advice, no case files, and anyone in deeper water is pointed toward real care. Nothing they say is ever stored on a server — sittings live only on each person's own device — so there is nothing for you to store, secure, or explain. Write us about group access for your class or center.
One principle a week from the Common Constitution — contributed by people who chose to publish theirs. No sitting required to read along, and nothing is ever asked of you. Your address lives with the mailing list and never touches your sittings.
