What we’re about
Santa Rosa Politics and Debate is a space for thinkers, innovators, and curious minds who want to dive deep into the forces shaping our world. We explore U.S. politics, international relations, political philosophy, ethics, economics (from micro to macro), and the underlying systems that drive society—from science and technology to culture, history, and human behavior.
Our goal is to bring together the brightest minds in Sonoma County, Santa Rosa, and beyond—whether you’re an experienced policy analyst, an armchair philosopher, an economist, a technologist, or simply someone passionate about ideas. Together, we’ll exchange knowledge, challenge assumptions, and design fresh, realistic solutions for improving governance, society, and the economy.
Discussions will range from the theoretical to the practical:
How emerging technologies and science will reshape politics and economics
How ethical frameworks influence decision-making on a global scale
How microeconomic choices affect macroeconomic outcomes
How political philosophy guides real-world policy
We’ll meet both in person and online so that anyone—local or remote—can participate. Whether you come to debate, to listen, or to collaborate on groundbreaking ideas, you’ll find an open-minded, intellectually stimulating environment here.
If you believe progress begins with informed discussion, this is your community. Bring your ideas, your passion, and your curiosity—together, we can think bigger, aim higher, and work toward solutions that matter.
