Join or Die film screening

"In this feature documentary, follow 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 importantly… What can we do about it?" - Join or Die synopsis.

The event will feature a screening of Join or Die, a documentary that explores the decline of clubs in American society and its impact on civic engagement. Following the film, we’ll host a discussion aimed at encouraging thoughtful dialogue on the importance of community involvement, clubs, and the value of fostering connections within our communities.

Join us for community, conversation, and connection, because no one should bowl alone.
