B-5 Civics in Action: How a Homeschooling Teen Changed a City Ordinance

Maia Persche

Why challenge the Baraboo ordinance outlawing raising chickens in the city, especially when others had failed? Researching the issue and finding out what to do. Networking and developing grassroots support. Enlisting others to help make the case before a public hearing. Using the media to gain support. Effective ways of interacting with both supporters and opponents in person and in writing.
