Many-Levered Machines:
Government Systems and How to Influence Them
Brush up on your civics savviness with this first in an upcoming series of programs on civics and democracy in the Woodbury Room of the Jones Library at 7 pm on Tuesday, September 10, 2019.
Amherst's former State Rep. Solomon Goldstein-Rose will explain the basics of local, state, and national government systems, expand on the complex set of institutions that form public policy, and lead an interactive exercise to help participants think about where advocates can tap in to make a difference. This session will be appropriate for those with little to no experience with government systems, as well as those with great understandings of institutions but with a desire to become more effective activists.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Jones Libraries and the Woodbury Fund.
Free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Janet Ryan at 413/259-3223.
Not a school-sponsored event
