Doing Democracy Day (DDD) s back! Mark your calendars, DDD 2024 is Thursday April 4th hosted at the Longmont Museum. We are thrilled to be back in this exciting location once again and hope you can join us.
Doing Democracy Day is a multi-community, multi-school event devoted to students wrestling with local issues, using local leaders (like you) as live resources. DDD has been a success due to the participation of local leaders and public servants. Please mark your calendars and RSVP to Kentwillmann@gmail.com
