Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NHGranite State Democracy Tour - Hanover
Join us when the Granite State Democracy Tour stops in Hanover!! See the knitted New Hampshire State House created by many NH citizens. Talk with experts who have a deep knowledge of elections, misinformation, and representation.
Take your knowledge of civics to a new level with presentations that address questions like:
Can we make the constitution work? Can the American people come together in the way the Constitution asks them to?
How does the process of setting up districts for elections minimize or increase polarization among the citizenry?
How do the structures of primary elections shape the type of candidates who go on to hold office?
Engage in conversations with the speakers and connect with fellow citizens passionate about democracy.
Drop in and stay as long as you like. Participate in a craft activity. Refreshments provided.
