SUMMARY:How To Tell Governments What You Think
DESCRIPTION:This program seeks to put the “engagement” in civic engagement. Because governments work for the people\, it’s important for government officials to hear from ordinary citizens what we think about what they are doing. Yet most of us don’t know how to effectively share our opinions with governments. Join us to learn how to tell government actors across all branches of government what you think about their ideas. This program will teach you broad principles for communicating to policymakers\, as well as specific tips for sharing your opinions with Congress\, executive branch officials\, and even the courts.

SUMMARY:DC Civics Coalition preliminary meeting
DESCRIPTION:Maryland has its Civic Education Coalition\, Virginia its Virginia Civics Coalition\, but there is as yet no similar organization in Washington\, DC. In this politically tumultuous time\, there is arguably no better moment to establish a DC Civics Coalition — DC Civics\, for short\, and provisionally — in our nation’s capital. DC Civics could connect diverse District stakeholders\, share pertinent info\, foster collaboration\, and advance civic education policies that help strengthen democracy in DC\, and America\, for generations to come. \nFollowing up on recent CivxNow Coalition meetings\, a first step is to connect via an email list those interested in being part of a DC Civics Coalition so we may begin gathering the info we need to understand the current landscape in DC (e.g.\, stakeholders\, leaders\, gatekeepers\, relevant policies in place\, obstacles\, opportunities\, and potential funding to fuel DC Civics). \nIf you’re interested in being on the DC Civics Coalition email list\, please fill out this form to help us learn about you\, and you’ll get added to the list. This moderated list will keep you informed periodically of DC Civics meetings and other information to advance the Coalition: https://bit.ly/subscribedccivics \nSecond\, if you’re able to attend this initial DC Civics Zoom mtg\, please (a) mark your Calendar\, (b) copy the Zoom mtg link below\, and (c) please email me at paul@learninglife.info to let me know you plan to attend. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86178036043 \nHere are the preliminary questions we’ll be discussing and crowdsourcing your answers to via Google sheets: \n1. Players: Who/What are the individuals and organizations in or around DC that currently play a role in DC civ ed administration and policymaking? \n2. Members or Allies: What individuals and organizations (businesses\, advocacy or service nonprofits\, membership associations\, govt agencies) are potential DC Civics Coalition members or allies\, including funders? \n3. What Exists: What civ ed policies are currently in place in DC? How well are these policies implemented? \n4. Obstacles and Opportunities: What are some of the obstacles and opportunities you see for civ ed in DC? \n5. Other Questions: What other questions should we be seeking answers to in this initial fact-finding phase of DC Civics’ development? \nPlease share this meeting with anyone you think may be interested. \nThank you! \nNote: the attached photo collage is of Learning Life’s own DMV Democracy Learning Community (DLC) \, not the DC Civics Coalition\, since we don’t have an event poster for this DC Civics first mtg. If you’d like to learn more about the DLC\, visit: https://learninglife.info/dlc/ \nPaul Lachelier\nFounder & Director\nLearning Life\npaul@learninglife.info

SUMMARY:BECOMING KATHARINE GRAHAM: The Right to Know and The Right to Print
DESCRIPTION:A 2024 Pew Research study revealed significant concerns among Americans about press freedoms and public access to information. BECOMING KATHARINE GRAHAM (2025) and “The Right to Know and The Right to Print” project are one response to these findings. \nJoin documentary Producer Emma Sassoon and Director of Education Fran Sterling to explore the enduring relevance of Katharine Graham’s legacy. Using curated clips from the documentary\, this webinar will explore Graham’s principled leadership of THE WASHINGTON POST\, her defense of press freedoms and protection of the First Amendment during the turbulent 1970s\, the sexism she faced as publisher\, her negotiation of the Pressman’s strike\, and her unwavering commitment to the public’s right to know and the press’s right to print. Participants will revisit key Supreme Court cases on press freedom\, reflect on Graham’s lasting impact on American journalism\, and discuss connections for classrooms and communities to examine today. \nIn our current climate of competing political and economic interests in gathering and reporting the news\, the dominance of social media platforms as news publishers\, and the access of the public to reputable news organizations\, this webinar will remind us of the critical role of the First Amendment in a democracy and\, to quote David Remnick\, “the first and most important job of journalism is to put pressure on power” – to uphold government transparency and protect the public’s right to access information.

SUMMARY:Rap and Redemption on Death Row: Seeking Justice and Finding Purpose Behind Bars
DESCRIPTION:“What leads someone to take another’s life? What do we owe those whom we incarcerate? What is\, or what should be\, the purpose of the United States carceral system? How can the impulses that lead to violences be transformed\, and what role can art play in that transformation? Are there limits to redemption?” \nRap and Redemption on Death Row: Seeking Justice and Finding Purpose Behind Bars seeks to explore the answers to these difficult questions through the testimony of Alim Braxton (a.k.a. Rrome Alone)–a writer\, rapper\, and activist living on North Carolina’s Death Row in Raleigh. Please join COMPACT and BEJI as we welcome Alim and author Mark Katz–the John P. Barker Distinguished Professor of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill–to Brandeis University for a community book release and discussion. Rap and Redemption on Death Row is digitally available for free through the Brandeis Library for faculty\, staff\, and students. \nThis event is a part of DEIS Impact 2025 and the Civic Learning and Democracy Engagement (CLDE) Coalition and Civic Learning Week.
