Come and be inspired, hear ways to help elect the Dems, and LEARN!

Meet Michael Ansara, political organizer, longtime activist and poet whose work contributes to our understanding of justice and political choices and effectiveness.

Several of us heard this dynamic, knowledgeable, experienced Democratic organizer recently, and we thought he would be the perfect speaker to kick off Election 2024 in Lincoln.  We are so pleased that he will be with us on Saturday, September 14 at Bemis Hall. Come for coffee at 9:45, and Michael’s talk at 10 a.m., followed by a question and answer session.
