Environmental sustainability, access to voting, public education—these are all civic issues affecting communities. What is a community? How can you participate in one? Join us for a lively discussion about what it means to be a part of a community and how you can engage with issues that matter to you. Together we will learn how we can be more civically engaged and bring about positive change.
This program is cohosted by Sedona Public Library. This is an in-person event.
