Arkansas is located in the Southern region of the USA with Little Rock as its capital. Doug Ducey (R) is Governor. Secretary of State is Kattie Hobbs (R), and Attorney General, Mark Brnovich (R).

The Arkansas legislature i.e. General Assembly of Arkansas  was founded in 1836.  The legislature is a bicameral body composed of the upper house Arkansas Senate with 35 members, and the lower Arkansas House of Representatives with 100 members. All 135 representatives and state senators represent an equal number of constituent districts. The General Assembly convenes on the second Monday of every other year. A session lasts for 60 days unless the legislature votes to extend it. The Governor of Arkansas can issue a “call” for a special session during the interims between regular sessions. The General Assembly meets at the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock.

Democracy onAir has the exclusive license to employ the onAir Knowledge Network Platform and its work integrating the The People’s Internet movement that give users the ability to own as well as share their information knowledge.

The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from Arkansas universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the Alabama onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

Our first outreach will be to University of Arkansas partly because of its proximity to the state capital. We have identified many of University of Arkansas’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. This post, over time, will have similar information on other collaborating organizations in the state.

The state’s diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to the densely forested land in the south known as the Arkansas Timberlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River and the Arkansas Delta.
