Fall Active Citizenship Project - CIVITAS-STL

November 2015 is the kickoff of the new Civitas Active Citizenship Project. Civitas has made connections with various non-profits and will be bringing to St. Louis classrooms engaging lessons on civics. November 11-13, OpenSecrets.org will be visiting 14 classrooms to talk about money in politics. On November 14th, there will be an Issues Roundtable about money in politics and a chance for schools to collaborate on a special project. Information on each event can be found below.

The two guest speakers will be Luke Breckenridge and Bob Biersack from OpenSecrets.org.

Here is a link to the OpenSecrets.org political fundraising database.
