The Skirball is honored to join League of Women Voters of Greater Los Angeles in presenting a webinar led by past LWV president, Mona Field, examining the pros and cons of Proposition 50 and why we're voting in November during an odd-numbered year. This online program, upholding the Skirball's commitment to civic engagement on the eve of America's 250-year anniversary, unpacks the details of a proposition that will impact our city and state for years to come. Join a civic and civil examination of politics in America, with one of our country's most esteemed historic organizations leading the charge.

Co-presented with the League of Women Voters of Greater Los Angeles.

Inspired by the American democratic ideals of freedom and equality, the Skirball Cultural Center hosts an array of Civic Engagement programs designed to inform the public and illuminate the political process. In doing so, the Skirball partners with organizations across Los Angeles that represent passionate, ideologically diverse, and open-minded constituencies, and whose mission(s) align with the Skirball’s commitment to civil rights, immigration, and pluralism.
