Elections 2024: Saving Democracy for the Common Good

GRI will present a series of workshops on the 2024 Elections every two seeks late Sunday afternoon from 5-7 at the Community Center of Mendocino. The first workshop will be on Sunday September 29. This election cycle has been quite a ride so far, and we are thinking that it is not going to end on November 5. So we are planning on holding workshops through the inauguration of the next President in late January 2025 — if necessary.
We will provide a forum to discuss all the elections from the local to the national and work on ways to make our democracy better for everyone. We will have guest co-hosts who will provide their own insights into the electoral process. We will look at money in politics; the critical public policies that hang in the balance from global war to local control of our future; who is running, what initiatives are on the ballot and on and on.

Admission is free, donations welcomed. We look forward to seeing you there.
