About this event
"This is What Democracy Looks Like"
January 30, 2026
5-6 pm eastern
Via Zoom
Dr. Gabriela D. Lemus
Join us for an energizing conversation with a seasoned community advocate who will share practical, hopeful ways to strengthen democracy and protect the right to participate fully in our civic life. Together, we'll learn how everyday people like all of us are countering voter suppression by supporting get-out-the-vote efforts, challenging gerrymandering, and replacing anti-immigration fear with facts and solidarity in the face of injustice.
This is a chance to connect, get inspired, and leave with tools you can use to make a real difference right where you live. We hope you'll add your voice and be part of the momentum. Democracy is strengthened when communities are present, engaged and unwilling to look away.
This is what democracy looks like!
