207: Civics 103 - All About Our Local Government


Listen Later

If you've been following us on our journey through (third grade) civics, you'll know that we've covered the federal government/civics on a national level in our Civics 101 episode, which was Episode 203, and then focused on state government in Civics 102, which was Episode 205. We're now here to round out our basic civics knowledge with Civics 103 - everything - and more, if we're being honest - that you wanted to know about your local city/county/municipal governments. Let's jump right into this.

What to listen for:

  • Ways that we discovered we can get more involved in our local governments - and what YOU can do too!
