Sign-Up for the DMV Democracy Dispatch

In 2025, Learning Life is launching an email DMV Democracy Dispatch that will, every two months, serve up, free of charge: (a) upcoming events, new publications, and other news, (b) profiles of individuals and organizations, and (c) interesting facts and quiz questions, all about democracy goings-on and people in the DC region.

The Democracy Dispatch is the next step in the development of the DMV Democracy Learning Community.  The Community is an association of Washington, DC area individuals and organizations working to make democracy more fun and inclusive by connecting professionals, publics and policymakers via social events, products, services and spaces that nurture fun, learning, networking, collaboration and wider, deeper citizen participation.

In 2019, Learning Life launched the Community with our Democracy Dinners.  In 2024, having held 43 Dinners and built a list of 8,000+ contacts in the DC region, we launched the second significant step: the first DMV Democracy Festival, which took place on Saturday, October 26.   In 2025, Learning Life is launching the Dispatch to widen the Community, and help regularly inform and connect interested democracy stakeholders in the DC region.

“All communities need a medium for sharing information of common interest, connecting their members, and publicizing their activities.  The DMV Democracy Dispatch will do just that by reporting regional events, publications, leaders, and more, and in so doing, help strengthen democracy in the United States’s capital region,” explained Learning Life’s founder, Paul Lachelier.
