What’s the role of older adults in our democracy today?

You’re invited to participate in a community discussion on August 13 or August 21.

Image of Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking with hand raised. Quote from MLK: We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. 
This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.

In its simplest terms, democracy is governance by the people. American democracy is nearing its 250th anniversary, and it is showing signs of stress. According to John Dewey, an American philosopher and educator, said, “Democracy needs to be reborn in every generation.” What’s our role in ensuring that rebirth?

Join us for a lively community conversation. Hear others’ views, share your own, and walk away with refreshed energy for doing our part in preserving and strengthening our democracy. All voices welcome. No expertise needed, just curiosity, concern, and a belief in the power of people.

We’re offering an in-person and virtual option.
