SUMMARY:Troublemaker Training: How to Be an Elections Sleuth
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wanted to learn more about the local and state candidates on your ballot but weren’t sure where to start? Down-ballot races are often the hardest to research because these candidates rarely have the budget for ads or expensive mailers\, which makes it tough for voters to figure out whether their values actually align. Want to make sure that you and your friends can vote with confidence? \nJoin us to learn how to dig beyond campaign websites and uncover the real story using public records\, campaign finance reports\, voting history\, and social media. We’ll show you how to “spill the tea” on candidates and share practical tips for finding credible\, reliable information.

SUMMARY:Selma Sisters March On
DESCRIPTION:Sixty years ago\, two teenage sisters walked into history and Selma Sisters March On tells their extraordinary story. The film follows Alice and Denise\, just 16 and 14 years old\, who were among the 300 chosen to walk the entire four-day\, 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery. Having watched their parents turned away again and again while attempting to register to vote\, the sisters channeled that anger and heartbreak into action\, crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge alongside John Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the historic final day of the march. Join us to screen the film — and then we’re honored to welcome the sisters themselves to answer questions and share what they hope the next generation learns from their experiences.

SUMMARY:Protecting the Vote: How You Can Help Keep Elections Safe
DESCRIPTION:Every week there’s a new headline about some plan or policy meant to undermine our elections and place limits on who gets to vote. Election security is a real concern in 2026\, but we’re not powerless here. There are people doing real work to protect the vote\, and you can be one of them! Join us to hear from Chynna Baldwin of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Chynna will talk about the threats facing our elections\, but also the work being done to protect the right to vote — and how you can be part of it. You have a role to play too: talking to friends\, making sure people know their rights\, and pointing them to help when they need it. Learn about the resources offered by the Election Protection Hotline and how you can get involved to make a difference in your community.

SUMMARY:See No Stranger: A Virtual Community Conversation with Rachel Crowther & Valarie Kaur
DESCRIPTION:How do we move forward when hate and division are pulling our communities apart?\nJoin me for a virtual conversation inspired by Valarie Kaur’s See No Stranger. Together\, we’ll talk about the book\, what resonated with us\, what challenged us\, and the bigger questions it raises about hate\, belonging\, compassion\, and healing.\nMost importantly\, I want to hear from you.\nWhat does it look like to move forward together? How do we have difficult conversations without losing our connection to one another? And how can we choose understanding and community in a time when it can feel easier to divide?\nThis is a space to listen\, reflect\, share ideas\, and have an honest conversation with our neighbors. This isn’t a debate or a campaign rally. It’s a community conversation.\nYou don’t have to agree with everyone. You just have to be willing to listen.
