Do This: Share What You’ve Learned About Local Government

May 21, 2026 | Easy A

Now that we’ve spent a few weeks learning about how local government works, let’s not keep this information to ourselves!

We’ve created a shareable pdf that explains how local government shapes our daily lives, and even better – how we can get involved to make our communities safer, more welcoming, and enjoyable!

We’ve also made it really easy for you to share this information with friends and family. You can use the post below to share using your favorite messaging apps on your phone.

And if you’ve got time to do a little more this week, join us TONIGHT for our next virtual Civics Salon: How Local Government Works. You can sign up at this link. If you can’t make it but still want to learn more, RSVP and we’ll send you the recording and give you a way to invite your friends!
