Post-Pandemic Civic Engagement: Lessons for a New Normal
The pandemic drew on us to re-imagine political campaigning, highlighted long-standing racial inequities, and affected how organizations large and small meet the moment and the needs of our citizens. It also forced international forums, state legislatures, and school boards to bring their important work to a virtual space. What lessons can we learn from these experiences as we build a new normal? Join us as we explore the ways we can improve civic engagement and strengthen government responsiveness in the wake of a global pandemic.
