IN PERSON meet up

Join us for an engaging discussion across the political spectrum. There have been sweeping changes in a short period. Come discuss your greatest hopes and worries so that we can set milestones to revisit.

As always, the goal of our meetups is not to convince people of one viewpoint or another -- it's to get us to learn to understand each other better and to add detail and nuance to our views and opinions about "the other side." It means finding mutual respect and also being comfortable with a little discord.

Through these meetups, you'll find new sources of information, and you'll learn to listen better and to flesh out (or sometimes throw out) the assumptions you carry. Most of all, we hope you'll come away with the sense that "the other side" is made up of people just like you, and you'll learn that most people are not simply "bigots" or "snowflakes".

NOTE: Ages 16 and above, please. Young children can be disruptive.

VENUE RSVP: This month, we'll meet at the party room of 860 N Lake Shore Dr. at the NW corner of Chestnut and Inner Lake Shore. We need to provide a list to the doorman to let you in, so please RSVP if you and your guests plan to attend.

TIPS: Some people have asked about chipping in for costs. While we do not require that, we appreciate your eagerness to help us provide this meetup and will accept contributions of any size. Here is our Tipjar:
