Cohousing-L Mailing List: Denver Film Screening: Join or Die

[Trish Becker-Hafnor (trish]

Calling all Denver-area communitarians! Join us for a screening of Join or Die, 
a compelling documentary that delves into the importance of civic engagement 
and community connections for the health of American democracy. This special 
screening is part of the National Cohousing Conference and serves as the public 
launch event. You do not need to attend the conference in order to attend the 
screening.

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?

Join us to uncover the answers to these pressing civic questions and to learn 
how each of us can contribute to revitalizing democracy in America.
