Democracy in the Berkshires: How to Make a Difference in Your City or Town
Are you ready to make a real impact in your community? Democracy in the Berkshires is your opportunity to learn how! This teach-in will empower you with the knowledge and tools to navigate local and state governments and influence the power structures that shape your life.
With the 2024 election fast approaching, many of us are thinking about democracy – but democracy is about so much more than just voting. Whether organizing small house meetings, championing local ordinances, or leading statewide initiatives, your voice matters, and your actions can create lasting change right here in your neighborhood.
Join us and hear from inspiring speakers with deep roots in Berkshire County. They’ve been on the frontlines – from within government to grassroots campaigns – and they’ll share their strategies for turning ideas into action.
This is your chance to take part in building a thriving, inclusive community. Together, we can create the change we want to see, starting in our own towns.
