Join the Lexington Lyceum Advocates and The Lexington Observer for a screening of “Join or Die”, which follows the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking Bowling Alone research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. Flanked by influential fans and scholars – from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker – as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions:
– What makes democracy work?
– Why is American democracy in crisis?
– And, most important . . . What can we do about it?
Stick around after for a short, facilitated talk back with Professor David Hummon.
Proceeds will support future civic events like this, The Lexington Observer and The Lexington Venue. If your organization is interested in joining as a co-sponsor and getting the message out about building community in Lexington, please let us know at [email protected]!
