What we’re about
Looking for like-minded people to share conversations and fun times together. Must be single, politically progressive or liberal, (most often a Democratic voter,) open-minded and of a certain age (IYKYK ... but around 50+ or older would fit the purpose of this group.) Let’s get together socially, knowing we share similar aspirations for our communities and our country!

I'll be there around 5:15 (feel free to go earlier). I'll hang out in the back of the showroom, so you can find me (I have a small sign that says "Meetup Group").
Around 7:30, when the music ends, we can head to Westport for some dinner (Bistro 303 is close and quite good).

Engaging others with empathy, respect, and understanding is essential at a time when both national headlines and personal conversations have become louder, harsher, and more polarized. Panel discussion moderated by Linda Lorelle. Panelists include Jay Sexton, director of the Kinder Institute, and students working to foster civil discourse on college campuses, leading with vulnerability, openness, and the belief that dialogue — even if difficult — still makes a difference.
Third installment of Civil Dialogues series, co-sponsored by Kinder Institute for Constitutional DemocracyNOTE: you can watch the program live or later on the library's YouTube channel: YouTube.com/kclibrary
Meet at the back of the room after the program - I will have a small sign that says "Meetup Group." We can walk over to a restaurant for a light bite after the program (Milwaukee Deli is one block away or there are other nearby options as well).
