Next Steps for Common Sense
Here's what you need to know this week. Straight from the Editors desk
Good Afternoon Sense-ibles,
Some important updates about our movement!
We have just completed a string of programs here at Common Sense to prepare us for the second phase of this project. Thank you to everyone who took part in the focus groups. As we push on to the end of the year, we have some important things for you to be a part of
Important updates
American Election Night Coverage, we are working on a live show that will run through the night, when Americans go to the polls. We are still working on the details, however, you will be able to get involved too.
Outcome from focus groups, over the next few weeks you should begin to see some of the changes that came from the focus groups we held.
Black History Month Detail, at the end of October, we will be releasing a special edition of The Detail (Our special thematic online publication) to celebrate the diversity of voices in the Black community. Look out for that!
Until then, keep reading and encourage friends and family to join our movement! Feel free to share this community update too
