[Libs-Or] Next Week - Civics Workshops

[Donna Cohen]

Hello everyone, I'm very excited about offering a new workshop next Monday
on how to have an impact on your community, city, state and/or country.
People have become more interested in being involved and my workshop
provides the basics. I combine civic and political knowledge, inspiration
drawn from current and historical successes and a cognitive path for
considering engagement. Come and check it out. My Misinformation workshop is
also becoming popular. In my opinion, the issue of evaluating information
and finding valid information is the most essential capacity for citizens to
have.

In addition to the workshops announced below, I will be conducting the
Misinformation workshop at Multnomah County libraries in March [Albina] and
April [Central]. Take care. Donna
