Join or Die: Screening and Post-event Discussion

Please join the Lexington Lyceum Advocates and The Lexington Observer on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 7 pm, for a screening of "Join or Die".

This feature documentary follows 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, Putnam explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?

A short facilitated discussion will follow the screening.

Where: The Lexington Venue (1794 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington)
