? WHY
What makes a community powerful? A well-informed and engaged electorate! Our mission is to strengthen civic engagement in ourselves and our communities through education, organizing, advocacy, and political accountability to all Bridgeport residents, not just a select few. Our commitment to that mission is why we do Civics 101.
? WHO
Civics 101 is a weekend workshop that is free and open to everyone, young and old! It pulls together people who’ve been in the trenches, have subject matter expertise, and are willing to share their knowledge, with the hopes of bettering the community we all love. It is also an opportunity to engage, learn, network, and share ideas in a safe, fun, and collaborative space!
