Bring It To The Table
Join us Tuesday, October 9th at 6:30 p.m. for a screening of “Bring It To The Table,” a film and interactive project that encourages participants to reach across ideological lines about issues that often divide us. Created by award winning filmmaker, Julie Winokur, “Bring It” inspires people to examine their own biases, listen closely, and engage in meaningful discourse that will move us away from gridlock and towards a stronger democracy. After the movie, there will be an opportunity to speak openly and authentically to others. No ranting. No rhetoric. Just straight, honest talk that reveals our value systems behind our personal politics views. We will talk one-on-one to each other, neighbor to neighbor, as we explore the wide middle ground we have in common that is currently overlooked by our two party system. Click here to register.
