Women,Gender,Sexuality Studies 295D - S- Democracy Works

Civil Rights leader, Dolores Herta, is famous for saying, "The only way Democracy can work is if people participate." With this in mind, class participants will take a deep dive into Massachusetts state government to explore the legislative and budget processes focusing on where people - as individuals and as part of social movements - are powerful. This course will start with the basics and move on to the intersection of inside and outside strategy and organizing.

This is an incredible and rare opportunity. Jo Comerford is the Massachusetts State Senator from Hampshire, Franklin, and Worcester district (including Amherst!).
