How Can Citizens Safeguard Democracy?

This Sunday our featured speaker will be Daryl Landau, Executive Director of Conserve Democracy. Following a brief overview of the threats to, and core elements of, democracy, Daryl will open things up for discussion: What threats do you see, and what would you be prepared to do to conserve our democracy?

Motivated by the recent decline in civilization, Daryl left a consulting career in human rights, governance in private companies, etc., to work on a pro-democracy non-profit. His qualifications include a B.A. in politics, two unfinished Ph.D.’s, and an addiction to news. He has belonged to and voted for all the major parties at some point in his life. Look for Conserve Democracy (@ServeDemocracy) on Twitter and Facebook.

Our musical guest will be Philosofree. Phil 'Philosofree' Cheney is a Corporate, Executive and Life coach, author, consultant, poet and writer, composer, musician and builder. He has published 8 books and 5 CDs of original music. You can check out his music at https://philosofree.bandcamp.com and https://www.philcheney.com/music/.

Clive Hannah will do the Community Moment. The Community Moment is a chance for one of our own to share their journey, thoughts about life, or something personal about themselves. It could be light and silly or it could be emotionally heavy. Either way, you’ll learn more about a valued person in our community. Interested in presenting your own Community Moment? Contact Tania at 416oasis@gmail.com.
