Democracy with Conditions: Rights that Can Be Taken Away

The Bloomington Human Rights Commission is proud to host an interactive civic workshop exploring how rights in the United States can be limited, shaped, and reimagined through real-world conditions. The Civic Thread Project creates hands-on civic learning experiences that bring people together to explore democracy as a living system - one that must be practiced, challenged, and renewed.

Led By:

Karen Lundquist, a practicing attorney, legal educator,
and law professor.
