This will not be a series where participants simply listen. Each Thursday will combine education, expert perspectives, interactive discussion, and an Action Workshop designed to help participants turn what they learn into constructive civic engagement.

SAVE THE THURSDAYS
September 10 — Democracy: How Do We Lose It—and How Do We Save It?
September 24 — Who Will Stop It? Checks, Balances & the Rule of Law
October 8 — Who Does Government Serve? Public Service, Loyalty & the Power of Truth
October 15 — Divide, Distract & Dismantle: When Americans Are Turned Against One Another
October 22 — When Fear Replaces Freedom: Political Intimidation, Violence & Democratic Rights
October 29 — The Democracy Action Summit: From Awareness to Action  

Participants will also be challenged to BECOME DEMOCRACY AMBASSADORS—taking what they learn back to their families, neighborhoods, congregations, campuses, workplaces, and community organizations.
