Have you heard about Project 2025, Agenda 47 and the threat they pose to our democracy? Are you curious to learn more and discover why experts are so concerned? Join us and our expert speakers for our "Breaking Down Policies" event series to explore the dangers of these plans and how they would 
impact you and your loved ones. In this final event, we will discuss Project 2025 and Agenda 47's plans to strip protections and rights from people with disabilities, women, and the LGBTQ+ community. Democracy is meant to reflect the will of the people, if it does not represent and protect all of its people and their rights it will never be a true democracy.
This has been changed to a ZOOM ONLY event.
