💪 COMMUNITY POWER: BRIDGING THE FUTURE
A Workshop with Rivera Sun

🗓 Tuesdays | October 28, November 4 & 11
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 The Hearth — 138 Grand Ave, Paonia

Join us for a dynamic, community-centered workshop that builds on Civics Today: Tools of Engagement.

In this next step, we’ll explore what to do when government power is used to sow fear, silence community voices, and dismantle decades of social and environmental progress. When democracy is threatened — we band together.

What We’ll Explore:
🌿 Recognizing non-democratic policies and actions
⚖️ Actions to protect and reclaim democracy
🙌 Strategic noncooperation — protest vs. noncompliance
🌎 Strengthening local social & environmental movements

This workshop is offered as a gift to the community.
Donations welcome to support our shared mission.
