Fifty and Better Fall Session: American Civics 101+ (A Crash Course)

Fifty and Better Fall Session: American Civics 101+ (A Crash Course)

Just imagine if you now had to take a government civics test every year to remain a U.S. citizen… would you be able to pass? Could you identify the co-equal branches of government and what their functions and responsibilities are? Explain the electoral college? The U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights? Identify your Congressional representatives? Explain the concept of “gerrymandering or our National Debt? Know your responsibilities and "power" as voters? American Civics 101+ is a timely 6-part discussion that provides a simple but comprehensive path to understanding what every person applying for U.S. Citizenship today need to know… how our U.S. Government and Democracy actually works!

Alan Perper is currently a founding member of VoteAsIf.org, an LA based consortium of marketing, advertising and publicity professionals seeking to increase 2020 voter registration and turnout through 501C3 nonprofit partnerships, new media platforms and high-profile endorsements.

He has previously trained with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services to develop an adult U.S. Citizenship curriculum and has taught numerous Citizenship classes at Temple Judea in Tarzana, CA.

Perper also received his secondary education teaching credential thru CA State University, Northridge and has taught high school Economics, Government and Business classes at two charter LAUSD campuses.

Fifty and Better was designed to offer university-level courses (no tests, no homework) taught by experts in the field, and to host social engagement activities for individuals age 50 and older.
