Please join South Burlington legislators and Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas for a fun and engaging evening discussing civics education on Wednesday, December 6th 5:30pm in the Community Room at the South Burlington Public Library.
Currently in her first term Secretary of State, Sarah Copeland Hanzas has already made civics education and engagement a major facet of her work.
"We need to recognize that sometimes people don't vote because they don't know how to vote, or they don't know the candidates, or they are skeptical about whether their vote will make a difference," said Copeland Hanzas. "That's why the next phase of defending our democracy needs to be in education, awareness, and engagement. Civics is more than the dry, boring three branches of government. Civics is also about being able to affect change, solve problems and make life better for all of us," said Copeland Hanzas. "Individuals can only do so much on their own. Working together through civic participation allows us to accomplish more than any one person can do themselves."
