Taking Action with Julie and Stephen Edwards
Join the folks over at ImagineIF Libraries via Zoom for part three of their non-partisan Civic Literacy class, led by Montana Conversations speaker Julie Edwards of Niche Academy and Stephan Edwards from the University of Montana. The duo will explore “Taking Action” in our complex political system.
At its heart, our political system is designed to foster balance, debate, and participation. But it can be daunting to get involved and feel like what we are doing is having an impact. This session addresses a core question: how do we take action and make a difference?
