Your Voice, Your Valley: A Nonpartisan Pizza & Civic Engagement Happy Hour

Healthy communities begin with informed, engaged neighbors. Join Sustainable Stillwater MN and facilitator Sirid Kellermann for Your Voice, Your Valley, a welcoming, strictly nonpartisan happy hour designed to help community members better understand the civic process and feel confident participating in it. Hosted at Lift Bridge Cowork in downtown Stillwater, this informal gathering is a chance to enjoy complimentary pizza, meet others who care about the future of the St. Croix Valley, and gain practical tools for civic engagement in a relaxed setting. During this interactive program, you'll learn how to: • Check or update your voter registration. • Find and contact your elected representatives. • Access reliable, nonpartisan resources for researching candidates and ballot issues. • Better understand how local, state, and federal government decisions affect your community. • Communicate respectfully and effectively with elected officials. Whether you're voting for the first time or have participated in elections for years, you'll leave with greater confidence and practical resources to help you engage in the democratic process according to your own values and priorities. Sustainable Stillwater MN does not support or oppose any political party or candidate. This event is intended solely to provide nonpartisan civic education and voter engagement resources.
