Are you ready to stop being a political hobbyist and start being a powerful, responsible citizen who engages with others to actively create the change we want to see? Then join us for Civic Saturday on July 27!
Civic Saturday is a unique new gathering featuring engaging conversation, food, music and socializing - all focused on inspiring a renewed sense of shared civic culture.
Civic Saturday gatherings are one-part conversation, one-part civics book club and one-part celebration, all focused on inspiring a renewed sense shared civic purpose and culture. In the conversation part, we will break into small groups and respectfully grapple with meaningful issues. In the book club part, we will listen to civic texts from past and present and reflect on their meaning to our community today. Throughout, we will come together in joyous celebration and share food, music and social time together. Before we leave, we’ll take time to create new connections in the community that will help us to implement the ideas we take away from the gathering.
Nonpartisan, free and open to all
Civic Saturdays were conceived of by Citizen University, a Seattle non-profit whose mission is to build a culture of powerful, responsible citizenship across the country. Civic Saturdays in Evanston are affiliated with Open Democracy Evanston, a non-profit dedicated to exploring and implementing new ways to increase civic engagement.
We mean to be an intentional community. This means we decide together how we run our gatherings, what projects we support or take on together and what are shared purpose is. Please contribute your perspective!
