The #CCPVotes Student Leaders for Civic Action is a workshop series designed to equip the college community to engage in the democratic process in an informed and empowered way. The Spring 2024 workshop series will provide non-partisan information about who’s on the ballot, how to identify misinformation and reliable sources, how to get involved in politics, and more. Join us for one, two or all three sessions! Participants who attend all three sessions will receive a certificate of completion from the college. 
 
The workshops will run from 3:30pm - 4:30pm on Zoom. Please contact Olivia Edwards at oedwards@ccp.edu to receive a Zoom link.
 
Session #3 – What’s New in Philadelphia & How to Get Involved in Politics 
In January of this year, Cherelle Parker was sworn in as Philadelphia’s 100th mayor – the first woman to hold that position. The city also received a new City Council, City Council President, Chief of Police, and more. How does this affect you and the citizens of Philadelphia? How can you get involved in politics in a meaningful and impactful way? In this session, we will discuss the role of mayor, city council and how a new local government impacts our city. Plus, we will discuss how those in leadership now first got their start in politics and how you too can get involved in politics.
