Episode description
Why don't people "civically engage?" Because they're too busy! Politicians are busy! Or maybe...they don't care?
In this special episode of Civics 101 recorded in front of a live audience, we hear from experts who break down what it means to participate in our democracy, how to break down barriers to participation, and how to be who you already are and make a VERY big difference.
This episode was recorded at NHPR's Civics 101 Summit at Southern New Hampshire University. Learn more about that event right here.
