The Power of Critical Thinking Zoom workshop on Sept. 9.
Critical thinking helps us analyze information to make sound conclusions or informed choices. It helps us wade through the deluge of information we’re flooded with every day. But critical thinking takes effort. It requires us to engage our System 2 Brain and understand how our System 1 Brain affects us.

Register Now for the Sept. 16 Letter-to-the-Editor Workshop
Registration is now open for a hands-on, online workshop at 6:30 P.M. on Tuesday, Sept. 16, that will provide guidance to improve your letter-writing skills.
State Advocacy Director Cynthia Stewart emphasized that letters to the editor are a smart way to help respond to the increased attacks on our democratic system of government.
Stewart emphasized that the privilege of speaking – or writing – and identifying oneself as a representative of the League is limited to the state president, Local League presidents, or their specified representatives.
“But that doesn’t mean every member can’t take pen to paper or boot up her computer and express her thoughts about the importance of voting rights, reproductive rights, being a nation of immigrants and ethical behavior,” she said.
