PYPL Civics Hub: Handwriting the Constitution

February 25 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Join us for an exploration of the values that unite us and the systems and strategies we can all use to promote a fairer, more informed society. This month, we revive an old program as we spend some time writing out sections of the U.S. Constitution by hand, a practice pioneered by artist Morgan O’Hara “so that people will know their rights, deepen their understanding of laws created to protect these rights, and to help resist negative thinking,” according to her website. Drop in any time during this program to deepen your familiarity with our most significant founding document; towards the end, we’ll spend some time reflecting together on the experience. Copies of the Constitution, writing materials, and cozy refreshments will be provided.
