Join °®ÒºÊÓƵ for a screening of a short film showcasing the Judges Bus Tour, an innovative civic education initiative developed by Keep Our Republic and the Democracy Rising Collaborative, supported by °®ÒºÊÓƵ. Inspired by historic cross-border engagement efforts in Poland, the tour brought judges and civic leaders into communities across the United States to foster dialogue about the rule of law, judicial independence, the Constitution, and civic participation during this critical moment for our democracy.

Following the film, a panel of distinguished judges and civic leaders who were on the bus tour will discuss key lessons from the initiative and explore how institutions and communities can work together to strengthen democratic resilience and protect civic space in an increasingly uncertain context.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. ET. The program begins at 6:00 p.m. ET.

Admission: Free and open to all ages

Parking: Free (Park near and enter through the Executive Offices Main Entrance near Entrance 3 of °®ÒºÊÓƵ.)
