Are you concerned about political apathy and polarization in our country as we approach the 2024 election?  Would you like to learn how to reignite respectful debate and discussion in your community?
The LWVDV Civic Engagement team is partnering with the National Institute for Civil Discourse in a national webinar to discuss these questions and to suggest creative solutions. Our own Janet Hoy is a panelist, along with other Bay Area Leaguers with years of experience on this issue. Listen, share, and leave with new tools. 
Please join us on Tuesday, Sept. 19th from 12:00 - 1:30 pm (Pacific) for the LWV/NICD Network event:  Are you ready for 2024 …and beyond?  How do we build trust and participation in our democracy? How do we get beyond where we are now?  What innovations are having success?

This webinar features Matt Leighninger, Director of the Center for Democracy Innovation at the National Civic League; Tommy Gong, Deputy County Clerk-Recorder for Contra Costa County; and members of various California Bay Area Leagues: Melanie Speir, Janet Hoy, Marieann Shovlin, and Bob Barrett.

Preparing for the year ahead, we’re conducting a democracy stress test, looking at the challenges ahead nationally and sharing solutions available locally with an outstanding panel who will provide insight and tools for engaging community members. We’ll follow our panel discussions with small group interactive discussions to provide an opportunity to meet Leaguers from across the country to share ideas and create collaborative relationships.
