Last week, we hosted our final Solidarity Session of the school year, Politics Here vs. At Home 🏛️🌎

The conversation explored how politics are discussed on college campuses compared to the environments many of us grew up in, and how culture, history, and identity shape the way we understand political systems and civic participation. Through open and thoughtful dialogue, we reflected on the similarities and differences between these political spaces, the challenges of navigating multiple perspectives, and how our backgrounds influence the way we engage with political issues.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their experiences! Your perspectives made the conversation meaningful and impactful. Sessions like these bring us closer together and strengthen our community through dialogue, reflection, and shared learning. 🤝

La semana pasada, organizamos nuestra última Sesión de Solidaridad del año escolar, Política Aquí vs. En Casa 🏛️🌎

La conversación exploró cómo se discute la política en los campus universitarios en comparación con los contextos en los que muchos de nosotros crecimos, y cómo la cultura, la historia, y la identidad influyen en la manera en que entendemos los sistemas políticos y la participación cívica. A través de un diálogo abierto y reflexivo, analizamos las similitudes y diferencias entre estos espacios políticos, los desafíos de navegar múltiples perspectivas, y cómo nuestros contextos influyen en la forma en que nos involucramos con los temas políticos.

¡Gracias a todos los que se unieron y compartieron sus experiencias! Sus perspectivas hicieron que la conversación fuera significativa e impactante. Espacios como este nos acercan y fortalecen nuestra comunidad a través del diálogo, la reflexión, y el aprendizaje compartido. 🤝

A couple of weeks ago, OPA had the privilege of hosting another impactful Special Event, What’s on the Ballot? This event focused on breaking down the 2026 midterm elections and helping our community feel informed and prepared as constituents ahead of Election Day.

Through a fun, Jeopardy style game, participants learned more about what will be on the ballot this November while engaging in a little friendly competition. It was an exciting way to make civic education both accessible and interactive.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We hope you walked away having learned something new. We look forward to seeing you at our next Special Event!

A través de un juego divertido estilo Jeopardy, los participantes aprendieron más sobre lo que aparecerá en la boleta este noviembre mientras disfrutaban de una competencia amistosa. Fue una manera increíble de hacer que la educación cívica fuera accesible e interactiva.
