From 11-1, Join us for a screening of the documentary Join or Die:

Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club — and why the fate of America

depends on it. 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?

From 1-2, Stay for our Join fest:

Stay for a brief discussion and a "Join Fest" in the lobby featuring local clubs and civic groups of all kinds. Wallace Books will also be on hand selling Robert Putnam's books (which the film is based on) and other great books about the art of gathering and the importance of community.
