Webinar: "I'm Just a Bill… Or Am I?"

Civics, Process, and Power

Remember that cheerful little bill sitting on the Capitol steps? Schoolhouse Rock made lawmaking look like a three-minute field trip: an idea becomes a bill, the bill passes, and the bill becomes law. The real process runs through committees, influence, time, and money, and most bills never make it out of committee alive.

Join us for a 90-minute conversation on how laws really get made, how the Electoral College works and why it matters, and how organized voters have moved power, from the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party to South Carolina's own United Citizens Party. Come for the cartoon and stay for the leverage.

Featuring:
Catherine Fleming Bruce: author, preservationist, and advocate; candidate for US Senate, former foreperson of a South Carolina State Grand Jury; founder of the National Coalition Delegation Network
Chris Nelums: businessman, entrepreneur, and Chair United Citizens Party
