Civic Action Lightning Talks
This session will feature 15-minute "lightning talks" by changemakers who exemplify different sections of the Social Change Wheel.

To introduce their work and illuminate their paths to civic agency, each changemaker will speak to four questions:
1. What event, person, issue, or moment propelled you into the work you do today?
2. What does civic agency mean to you? How do you take action through your work?
3. What gives you hope or keeps you going on hard days?
4. What advice would you offer to someone who wants to make a difference but doesn't know where to start?

Attendees will have the chance to ask our presenters questions during the Q&A session on Slack immediately following the lightning talks.
