Protecting democracy through community outreach.

In 2023 and 2024, several FRD speakers have appeared on radio, TV and spoke to local civic organizations during the year. Why not invite us to speak to your organization?

FRD also presented a lively half day seminar to a packed room in November at the Osher Institute of Lifelong Learning at Ringling College in Sarasota. We’ve been invited back in 2025.

Our July 6, 2025 Patriotic Picnic was a roaring success.

We’re focusing on educating citizens in this important election year and showing them where to find objective, accurate and useful information about issues and candidates.

We’re also letting people know how to protect our democracy through smart citizenship.

We’re going to launch programs on how government and democracy affect your personal finances.
