Join RANGE Media and Spokane City electeds for the first ever PolitiCrawl: Politics (& Pints) for the People.
When: Friday, September 27, 6 - 11:30 pm
Where: Bar list and bus route coming soon 👀
Who: Spokane voters over the age of 21 who want to learn more about local politics + how to engage, or longstanding political junkies who want to hangout and talk government with other like-minded nerds.
What: A *free* pub crawl to a bar in each Spokane City Council district + a bar downtown using the Spokane Transit Authority bus system. Hosted by the RANGE team in collaboration with Spokane’s local electeds, who are going to be making an appearance at the bar in their city council district to chat with you.
This is a great opportunity for you to:
- Meet your elected city representatives! Tell them about the issues that are important to you and your neighborhood, learn about upcoming policies that might impact you, and connect as people who care about our community.
- Engage in your local political systems beyond voting in national elections! While voting is incredibly important (and we’ll be handing out voter’s resources along the way) we want to give you the tools to engage with local politics long after the election is over!
- Connect with local journalists! The RANGE team will be there to answer questions like: how to file a public records request? How to sign up for public testimony at a council meeting? How to send us a news tip? And whatever other curiosities about process and news you might have!
- Be in community! Make new friends, meet collaborators, identify potential nemeses!
Register or RSVP for the event now so we can get a headcount!
(Note: while the crawl itself is free, you will need to buy your own drinks and STA bus pass — we’re not made of money here!)
Why: Voting is important, but so is engaging with your local government *all year round.* And if you know RANGE, you know that we love making complicated government systems as accessible (and even fun!) as possible so that you can more easily engage with officials and advocate for your community. We want to give you the tools and connections to get more involved, and have a good time doing it.
