COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS: BECOMING AMERICA

  • VIRTUAL Barrington's White House Barrington, IL USA (map)

We just had a presidential election. How do we reimagine our social contract and civic trust? Join us for our monthly (virtual!) edition of Courageous Conversations hosted by Rev. Dr. Zina Jacque and Jessica Swoyer Green with special guest speaker Eric Liu, Co-Founder and CEO of Citizen University which works to build a culture of powerful and responsible citizenship in the United States. He is also the Executive Director of the Aspen Institute's Citizenship and American Identity Program where he started the Better Arguments Project. Liu is the author of several books, including Become America: Civic Sermons on Love, Responsibility and Democracy, The True Patriot, The Gardens of Democracy, and You're More Powerful Than You Think: A Citizen's Guide to Making Change Happen. We welcome Eric from his home in Seattle, followed by breakout dialogue.
