Your agenda for me is much more important than my agenda for you. Your agenda for me tonight is that you want a formula from me.
What is the worst thing I could do with this time? Waste it. Not give you anything
EX: Story; “You are not going to believe this” type story where you never give the punchline...

POLL THE ROOM - How many times have you been texted/looked down at your phone since we started this session?
What is the problem with interest in civic literacy?
It’s not that it’s not interesting. It’s that, as a general rule, we don’t understand we have a role and what that role is. We’re uninspired. Because we don’t understand the system. The dynamics of the team we are on. We believe that WHO is doing “it” (government) are our elected representatives. We believe our work ends at the voter booth, not that it begins there. And it’s because we don’t understand the system and our position on the team.

COMMON ANSWER: Our elected representatives?
