February 16th: Politics and Law

What is Politics? And what is it SUPPOSED to Produce?
11 am to 1 pm

Workshop to create a community of educated voters and a constituency that knows the importance of local elections, knows the effect of the electoral college on presidential elections, and knows the scope and power of local officials. The goal being to create a constituency that can find and support a representative from within. We will be registering new voters so teenagers and young people of voting age are encouraged to attend. We will also be discussing why your vote does matter as well as hosting a mock campaign.

Who are Your Politicians for 2016?
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm

This event is designed to give politicians an opportunity to meet the members of the community. It is also designed to be the community’s opportunity to talk to all the politicians running in 2016, to tell them what their issues are, and find the politician who best suits their most important concerns and they believe to be most representative of them. The politicians will also participating questions and answers segment will have a poll done by the audience.

 
Law 101
3:00 pm to 5 pm

This seminar is a rapid fire, straight from the lawyer’s mouth list of things that the community may not know about the law. The topics include traffic violations, criminal law, probation, family law, landlord/tenant, and bankruptcy. There is also a question and answer segment for the community to ask the lawyers questions about their presentations. One of the most important reasons having this event is to protect our young people through knowledge.
