Local Dems To Launch New Public Education and Training Program and Book Club
Democrats have always been the education party. Jimmy Carter created the US Department of Education in 1979 when a Democratic Congress of 58 Democratic Senators and 288 Democratic members of the House of representatives passed legislation creating this great department. Republican after Republican has voted to shut down the department. In keeping with our party’s constant commitment to education, our small LEXROCKBV Dems are creating an Educational and Training Program as a model for all local Democratic Committees in the nation.
These free programs will be offered in person in Lexington, Virginia and we shall use Zoom technology so people all across the nation and in any household that has an internet connection can take our educational and training programs for free. Our initial line up of programs to start in January 2025and be offered several times a month will include such topics as:
1. Basic Computer Skills
2. Basic Social Media Skills
3. How to Get Your Writings Published
4. How to Use Artificial Intelligence in Life and Politics
5. New Strategies for Organizing for Political Success in Rural America
6. How Children and Adults Can Benefit from Educational Websites
7. How to Run for Office and Get Appointed to a Board or Commission in Your Area
8. Voter Registration Basic Procedures
9. How to Make Elections Function Better in America
10. Ten Steps Every Person Can Do To Protect the Environment
11. Taking the Mystery and Telling the Truth About Climate Change
12. How Women Can Achieve Full Equality in America
13. Office Management
The Book Club will meet once a month beginning in January 2025. The first three books to be studied are:
