Sips and Civics Next Week!
Join us on the evening of Thursday, August 29 at Spring Creek Barbeque in Frisco for our new Sips and Civics program! Get dinner or drinks, socialize, and learn about important topics related to our democracy. This month LWV-CC Co-President, Ian Seamans will speak and lead a discussion about LWV's One Person, One Vote campaign to abolish the Electoral College.
Doors open at 6PM, presentation and discussion from 7:00-8:30PM, event wraps up by 9:00PM. Arrive around 6-6:30PM if you plan to buy dinner and socialize, or arrive by 7:00 to just hear the presentation and participate in the discussion.
Five times in American history, the will of the people was overridden, as the presidential candidate with the most votes did not win the presidency. The Electoral College is an outdated relic initially created by enslavers to disempower voters — especially Black voters. Join us to discuss how we can conclusively get rid of it, with or without a constitutional amendment.
