We are the Freedom Forum, a nonpartisan political science club, established and maintained by the students of ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏAPP. Our main purpose is to promote and encourage political awareness and involvement amongst the students and community of the greater Modesto area in relation to global, national, state, and local politics. Encouraging political participation is one of our main goals.
Join the School of Behavioral & Social Sciences and our partners for our lecture series: Democracy in the Public Space. In this series, faculty and local community leaders will discuss various topics related to civic engagement and how we all can make our voices count.
Upcoming Event:
Democracy in the Public Space Presents Dolores Huerta
The School of Behavioral & Social Sciences’ Democracy in the Public Space is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community dialogue on the principles of democracy, civic responsibility, and community involvement. Through an engaging series of lectures, discussions, and an educational poster campaign, we aim to inspire active participation in the political process, to address societal challenges, and to cultivate a culture of informed and engaged citizenship.
