This includes comparing strategies of working on elections, lobbying to create or reform laws and regulations, and organizing to amend the US Constitution.

    Andrea Christelle, Ph.D. is cofounder of SPEX: Sedona Philosophy Experience. SPEX creates opportunities for people to do adventure philosophy outdoors, on trails, on rivers, and under the stars. SPEX invites people to explore their inner lives outside. Andrea serves on the boards of the League of Women Voters of the Greater Verde Valley, the Society of Philosophers in America (SOPHIA) and the Verde Valley Forum. She has been locally and nationally recognized for her work in civic engagement and public philosophy.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians.
