   7:00 PM  -  9:00 PM “Join or Die”: Film Screening and Discussion  
    Contact: Janel Showalter   703-887-7765   [email protected]
   

Join the Lexington Lyceum Advocates and The Lexington Observer on November 12 at 7 pm at the Lexington Venue 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. The Bowling Alone author’s 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, Putnam explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most important, what can we do about it?

After the film, we invite you to stay for a short, facilitated discussion. 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]!
