Choose Democracy invites everyone to observe a minute of silence each Wednesday at 12:53 AM(local time) in a Minute for US. This was the time when the Capitol was breached on January 6.

COMMUNITY ARTS ORGANIZATIONS:
Why They Matter to All of Us
Thursday February 26 | Noon
Arts organizations are fundamental to the vitality of communities. These groups contribute immensely by fostering social cohesion, supporting economic development, and improving a community’s overall well-being.
Through their activities and programs, arts organizations bring people together, encourage stronger social connections, and help cultivate a sense of shared identity among residents. Despite their many contributions, arts organizations are currently facing substantial financial challenges.
To examine these issues, the February Badger Club Forum will examine the status and challenges of funding the arts in the Tri-Cities. The event will feature a panel of representatives from various segments of the community, including those involved in community development and members from arts organizations.
If you are with us in person at the Richland Library or online, we’ll be happy to see you. Please visit our website to register.

I’m going to be real with you. Managing a campaign team is no joke.
Whether you’re onboarding new staff, navigating a tough conversation, or just trying to keep morale high, good management doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a muscle you have to exercise.
That’s why I want to make sure you know about this:
🗓️ Best Practices for Coaching Staff and Building Culture
TOMORROW, Feb. 25th | 1–2pm ET | Free & Virtual
In one hour flat, you’ll walk away with:
- Strategies for effectively onboarding new campaign staff
- Management principles to support your team through the chaos of a campaign
- Practice giving and receiving feedback — and tools for navigating the hard conversations we all dread
Your team is counting on you. This is one hour that could change how you show up for them.
Register for free today — spots won’t last.
Warmly,
– Ada, Associate Director of Marketing and Communications, NDTC
