Welcome to the twenty second issue of the Political Awareness Newsletter. As we close out February, a season focused on care and connection, we’re reminded that public policy is ultimately about how we show up for one another as a society.

In this issue, we examine a range of timely and complex issues shaping both national policy and public discourse.  Featured articles explore the History of Government Shutdowns, Featured article on Jesse Jackson: A Legacy of Hope and Justice, the growing role of cybersecurity and Understanding Phishing Scams, and we take a look at what Zero-Migration America would look like. We also take a closer look at understanding the DRC/Rwanda Peace Agreement, alongside other additional pieces that address other pressing political and legal developments.

As always, this issue aims to provide clarity, context, and insight into the policies and debates that continue to influence our communities and institutions.

Note: Political Awareness never authorizes its published communication on behalf of any candidate or their committees.
