Inform Your Community seeks to foster a more informed electorate. Our programs are for those who thirst for information about current events and political issues but who also demand authentic entertainment experiences. We provide high yield entertainment and information value in each of our free programs designed especially for busy people - many of whom work long or irregular hours, care for dependents, and have stressful positions. This allows for a maximization of their time by being twice as productive both having fun and becoming informed through our programs.
