The League of Women Voters of Butte County (LWVBC) and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) - Chico will collaborate this fall on an online educational series open to the public “The Basics of Civics: Citizenship, Voting, Census, Reapportionment, and Redistricting.“ The League of Women Voters of Butte County, a non-partisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government; former LWVBC president Debra Barger will lead the series, offered on Thursdays from 3pm to 4pm from September 16 through October 7.

 

Civics in America has a fascinating history of encouraging voices and silencing others.
