NOTA Legislative Summer Series: Civics 101

The Legislative Team wants to thank those who joined for our first of our, Founding Documents 'Summer Series'. We had great discussion, and gearing up for our July event on The Constitution. We hope that this refresher continues to inspire members to further their advocacy efforts. Come check us out! 

Recall: As OTPs, and an organization, we often reflect back on 'our roots' - coming from mental health institutions, emerging from former medical models of practice, etc.. The NOTA Legislative Team feels it is just as important that as citizens, and advocates, Nevada OTPs to feel just as grounded in 'the roots' of this nation, that allow us to advocate, speak with elected representatives, and have our voices heard on behalf of our patients, our communities and our communOT! From these, lessons emerge on where we've been, and where we can go, as we continue our advocacy efforts, together. 

Each month, we dive deep into a founding document, or two, and discuss it's relevance at the time, it's relevance -or not(?)- today, and how the these founding documents still can have modern-day applications in the ever-changing world we are all navigating together.  

Plan to grab a cup of coffee, and join us once a month this summer, 10am, for a casual, yet thoughtful discussion with OTPs and OTSs across the state. We will be using the Podcast Civics 101 as our guiding resource (the 'book' of our book club). Plan to listen to the document episodes beforehand, and come ready to discuss. 

Schedule:

[check] June 24th, 10am: "The Declaration of Independence" & "The Articles of Confederation"

July 22nd, 10am: "The Constitution"

August 26th, 10am: "The Federalist Papers" & "The Bill of Rights" 

**We are skipping "Magna Carta", but give it a listen anyway; its foundational information of yore. It's a fun one, too. Just a little out of the scope of our intended mission**
