All Change Is Local: The Power of State and Local Elections
1.0 ethics credits
Known as the birthplace of American democracy, Philadelphia is where the Declaration of Independence was signed and where representatives laid the framework for the United States Constitution. More recently, Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania more generally, have been at the center of political and legal challenges confronting the democratic process. Through a discussion with elected officials and political leaders, this panel will explore methods of democratic participation with a focus on the issues that most directly affect Philadelphians and ways to strengthen democracy from the ground up.
