Speaking & workshops

Civic education for the rooms that need it

Schools, colleges, churches, veterans and community groups. Lawrence teaches how the justice system is built, in plain language, from the public record, so audiences leave knowing the rules and the next move. He is an educator, not an attorney.

Four talks

Every one ends with a documentation exercise, not a Q&A

Transparency Creates Accountability

Public records, documentation and holding officials accountable. How a paper trail wins.

You leave with: a template to start building a paper trail in your community.

Learn the Law

The basic rights every student is supposed to know, and how to use them. What to say at a traffic stop, what a school can and cannot search, what you sign online, and what happens from probable cause to a courtroom. Taught in plain language, with practice.

You leave with: a one-page "your rights and how to use them" card, and a script for the moments that matter.

Who Holds the Levers

How the justice system is structured, taught with the interactive map from the Classroom. See the map: lawrencetotimeh.com/class.

You leave with: a filled-in chart of who decides what in your county, and where pressure actually lands.

From the Front Line

Civic power from Fannie Lou Hamer to today. Available with a nonpartisan voter education workshop built on official state resources.

You leave with: the civic power timeline and a voter-ready checklist.

Why him

He's been on the front line

Combat veteran. More than ten years in classrooms from DC to Los Angeles. A decade of civil and human rights work, from Trayvon Martin to today. His 2020 photo led the Los Angeles Times investigation into police tactics at the George Floyd protests. He teaches what he has lived, and he teaches it from the record.
