Questions: info@theidproject.com
Have you ever wondered how legislation
actually works? What is the process by which we—as mindful
citizens—organize ourselves and engage our elected officials
to enact change on a systemic level? For one example, The I.D.
Project is currently investigating legislative options related
to our Plastic
Bag Initiative. We all need a better understanding
of how our government actually works—what are its mechanisms
and points of access? Join us for an engaging and insightful afternoon
as Senator Schneiderman guides us through the landscape of New
York State government. We will begin with a short sitting meditation.
Open to all meditators and activists who want to get informed
and get involved!
