Description

September Topic: Canvassing and Political Activism

Expand your impact beyond the ballot box! Bring your lunch and join us at Applewood for a conversation and Q&A exploring avenues of election engagement beyond your vote. Discover how you can make a difference through advocacy and other efforts. We’ll share the history of the Mott family’s activism as well as practical present day ideas for advancing the causes you care about. Our guest speaker is Kevin Lane, a Flint native who has worked at a national level to encourage students to get involved with elections and voting.

Coming Up Next: Voter Resources on Oct. 12

Bring a sack lunch and join our staff and community partners as we spark discussion on topics related to civic participation. Through the monthly Bring Your Lunch and Learn series, we explore how residents can be informed about issues and the various ways anyone can get involved in their community. We welcome conversations from multiple viewpoints and our goal is not to advocate for one outcome over another, but to create dialogue around the process of making decisions that impact a community.

Sessions are free and last approximately one hour. Held at noon on the second Saturday of the month through October.
