|Explaining the fundamental aspects of the effort to call an Article V convention requires a grounding in, well, the fundamentals. \\ \\ Who better to talk about the merging of history, education, and the principles of Western Civilization with strengthening the engagement and effectiveness of grassroots activists than Convention of States California State Director, homeschool mom, and history teacher **Mary Hebert**? She is the featured guest on the October 24 edition of [[https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-that-stick-knowing-history-deepens-commitment/id1574945981?i=1000733042326|**"Grassroots Groundbreakers"**, which can be heard by clicking here]]. \\ \\ This latest episode, entitled "Lessons That STICK: Using History to Deepen Activist Commitment", is hosted by Convention of States Action Chief Grassroots Officer Mike Ruthenberg. \\ \\ Mary discusses her experience in homeschool education and grassroots activism, in addition to her interest in [[https://wallbuilders.com/|WallBuilders]] and [[https://www.patriotacademy.com/|Patriot Academy]], which led her to volunteer with the Convention of States movement, and why she eventually felt called to become State Director in California. \\ \\ Mike asks Mary about her educational background as a college and Bible apologetics instructor and the historical approach and appreciation for the truth about the American republic that she brings to her communication and interaction with the COS California team in meetings. Mary also elaborates about the importance of the "why" of Convention of States. \\ \\ Mary's story and leadership style are unique and you will not regret taking a few minutes to listen to her talk about the necessity of understanding our founding principles in the effort to call an Article V convention. **[[https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-that-stick-knowing-history-deepens-commitment/id1574945981?i=1000733042326|The podcast can be accessed by clicking here.]]** \\ \\ To join leaders like Mary and become a fundamental part of the most significant volunteer grassroots organization in America, sign the petition below:\\ \\ #|PETITION_WIDGET{petition_tag:;coalition_id:;anedot_url:}|#|
