SUMMARY:Nebraska Legislature: First day of 2023 session
DESCRIPTION:Jan. 4 marks the start of the 108th Nebraska Legislature\, which meets at the State Capitol in Lincoln. It is the first year of the 2023-24 biennium\, meaning it is a “long session\,” or 90 legislative days. Senators are expected to be in session until early June.\nWith 49 members\, the Nebraska Legislature is the smallest of any U.S. state. Unlike the legislatures of the other 49 states and the U.S. Congress\, the Nebraska Legislature is a unicameral legislature\, thus not separated into two houses. It is also nonpartisan and does not officially recognize its members’ political party affiliations.\nResources:\n›› Information about the legislative process\, the history of the Nebraska Legislature\, general information about unicameralism\, and an in-depth explanation of the budget process.\n›› The Nebraska Legislature’s ADA Notice\, tips on testifying at hearings\, the rules of the Legislature\, legislative district maps\, photos of the Capitol\, and a glossary.\n›› The  Unicameral Update is an online news source produced by the Clerk of the Legislature and maintained throughout the session.\n›› Planning to visit? Here’s information about visiting the State Capitol.\n  \n

SUMMARY:PURPLE Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Did you know a study found that 1 in 6 Americans stopped speaking to a family member or close friend after the 2016 election? On July 28\, we’re hosting an online screening of a new film from Resetting the Table that captures the concerns and humanity beneath our national conflicts. Please join us!\nPURPLE tells the story of Americans with opposing viewpoints investigating their differences and discovering the concerns and experiences that lie behind each other’s positions. Filmed in rural Wisconsin and Iowa — in a swing region within two bordering swing states — PURPLE models a rare\, mediated conversation that uplifts and inspires even while going toward the heat of passionate political differences.\nThe screening and post-screening discussion offer a structured opportunity to capture the thinking of the core characters on their own terms\, as well as to explore the value of doing so for our democracy.\nSAVE YOUR SPOT TODAY!

SUMMARY:Civic Saturday: WISHING WELL
DESCRIPTION:Civic Saturday is a civic ritual – a place to come together in civic community\, be inspired and encouraged to reflect and connect\, and create new civic traditions that are joyful and communal. It reminds us that we aren’t alone and that we can and must take part in shaping the future of our communities and country. \nJoin Civic Nebraska on Zoom at 11 am CST on Saturday\, Jan. 22\, for Nebraska’s latest Civic Saturday (register here).

Those who gather will hear poetry from Mimi Yu\, Nebraska’s Youth Poet Laureate; readings of civic texts from Nancy Petitto and Brad Christian-Sallis\, plus music from Jack Rodenburg we can all sing along to. We share thoughts and ideas\, and hear a “civic sermon” from Steve Smith of Lincoln\, a national Civic Saturday Fellow. Participants also break into “Civic Circles” to talk and listen in small groups. \nMost of all\, Civic Saturday brings friends and strangers together to nurture a spirit of shared purpose. It’s a place to connect around the values and practices of being an active citizen and to build relationships and create new civic traditions that are joyful and communal. \nSave your seat!
