Wednesday, March 8, 7pm Is your high school government class a vague memory? Do you find yourself Googling terms after reading a news report? USC Professors Christian Grose (Associate Professor of Political Science and Public Policy) and Allison Dundes Renteln ( Professor of Political Science, Anthropology, Law, and Public Policy) will present a mini-refresher course on our democratic system. |

Monday, March 13, 7pm Effecting Change in Government Whether you're fighting city hall or advocating for sweeping social change, history has proven that one person can make a difference. And our ability to do so is a cornerstone of our democracy. So how do you make your voice heard? How can you make a difference? Representatives from the Pasadena's League of Women Voters join us to speak to this topic and answer questions like: Do petitions work? Is it better to call or write your representative? Does it make a difference when you do? What is the effect of a march? How do you "fight city hall" locally? How do we as citizens influence policy and effect change? We will also be taking questions from the audience. |

Thursday, March 30, 7pm Whether you're hearing the call to represent your community and make a difference in our community or just interested in learning more about the process, join us for a discussion about opportunities to run for office, the best first steps, and what it really means to serve. Speakers TBA.
