Join Tamara Lich for a candid discussion on civic engagement, grassroots organizing, and the evolving state of democracy in Canada.

In The State of Democracy: Lessons from Grassroots Movements, Tamara will reflect on her personal experiences during the Freedom Convoy Protest and what it revealed about citizen participation, public institutions, and the power of grassroots movements.

Drawing from her own journey from private citizen to national public figure, Tamara will explore how grassroots movements form, why ordinary people step forward to speak out, and what these moments can teach us about democratic participation in modern society.

This presentation will offer a first-hand perspective on organizing, public response, and the challenges faced by individuals who find themselves at the center of large civic movements.

Following the presentation, Tamara will participate in a live audience Q&A.

The event is open to students, faculty, and members of the public.

Come be part of an evening conversation about civic engagement, citizen voices, and the role grassroots movements play in shaping democratic societies.
