Why should everyone care that some communities are not active participants in our civic society? Recent tests to our country’s democratic processes remind us of the fragility of our system. For democracy to thrive it needs an educated electorate and systems that allow for full and fair participation by everyone. Join Lippitt House Museum and Providence League of Women Voters for a series of discussions on how civic education programs for both youth and adults of color remove barriers to informed participation and support our democracy.
March 15: Youth Activism & Civic Responsibility with ARISE (Alliance of Rhode Island Southeast Asians for Education)
The discussions will be held virtually via Zoom on Mondays starting at 6:00 pm. The sessions are FREE; preregistration is required.
Funding for this program includes support from the League of Women Voters Rhode Island Education Fund.
Panelist Bios: Niamiah Jefferson, Rochelle Bates Lee, Samia Nash, Raymond Two Hawks Watson, Nancy Xiong
