Word of the Week: DEMOCRACY
Not just "majority rules."
Democracy is a system of government where power rests with the people โ€” either directly (everyone votes on everything) or through elected representatives.
Key features: free and fair elections, protected rights, rule of law, and political participation.

Big things are brewing! Harish, Peyton, and Kaelan had the honor of teasing the Ideology Lab at an info session for the Civic Impact Academy.
The late nights, the revisions, the belief in something that didn't exist yetโ€ฆ y'all are the real deal.
Ideology Lab is coming. And it's going to change how we think about civic engagement.

Earlier this week, we were able to provide a brief teaser of our upcoming Ideology Lab - a new experiential learning workshop designed to help participants understand their political ideology and engage in thought exchange exercises with others that may not share their same beliefs. A HUGE thank you Christine Edwards and her team at Civility Localized for allowing us to tease this important community offering to their group!

If you are interested in becoming a participant in our first Lab, REGISTER TODAY at lab.civicsedu.org! Only 12 spots are available!!!
