SUMMARY:Walking to Save Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Democracy Supporters!!   Join us June 6, 3 PM as we gather at the NW corner of 72nd & Dodge street (Target parking lot) to  welcome Rick Hubbard who is Walking To Fix Our Democracy.  Hubbard and his team will be greeted in Lincoln late May, and then will start the walk to Omaha. The democracy walk was sparked by Hubbard, a 82 year old retired attorney from Vermont who with support from volunteers began his cross-country walk in Los Angeles (see route).  The message is simple: Fixing our democracy first, is the quickest and most effective way to avoid autocracy and unlock progress on every other issue important to us all.\n \nJune 6 – 3 PM   Meet at  the NW corner of 72nd & Dodge (Target parking lot) and join Rick on his last Omaha mile walk to University of NE at Omaha (UNO) Civic Engagement Center where a forum on Democracy will be held at 4 pm. Rick has several banners and American flags for participants to carry as we walk to the UNO Civic Engagement Center.\n \n4 PM  Gather at the UNO Civic Engagement Center ( CEC) 6400 Dodge for a nonpartisan forum on Democracy. Park free in Lot E, tell attendant about the forum\n \nAfter Nebraska, the nationwide walk will pass through Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan in the late summer and fall, and then head through Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland this winter. It will end in Washington, D.C., the week before the inauguration in January 2025. See website:  Walking to Fix our Democracy: www.fixourdemocracy.us/\n \nSPONSORS; Represent Us, Better Ballots Nebraska,  League of Women Voters NE\nQuestions:  Call or text Joanna Lindberg, 402-216-3014\n
