What would your dream community, country, and democracy be like?
What if that wasn’t so far off?
Our democracy in the US is far from perfect, and at the same time it has provided us with so so much. While there’s plenty of talk about how it’s broken, there’s less talk about what we can do about it, and what we actually want it to become.
No matter what you care about — affordability, climate/regeneration, housing, jobs, peace & justice, healthcare, education, individual rights and freedom, or otherwise — all of that and more flows through us protecting, strengthening, and revitalizing our democracy.
We’re gathering at Frontier Tower in San Francisco, a 16-story “vertical village”, innovation hub, and “community democracy in formation” that once served as the Burning Man headquarters, for community building, good food, and designing the future that we’re going to co-create through our collective action.
Come join this dynamic and participatory gathering for discussions and co-creation at the hub of dreaming and building, in the city of builders, the City of Awe, as we design strategies to avert us from our likely trajectory of collapse and instead co-create the communities, the country, the democracy, and the world that we dream of living in.
We have rapid-fire lightning talk speakers joining from SF City Government, UC Berkeley, One Fair Wage, Indivisible, StopAI, Hope for Democracy (democracy startup), Bloom Project and Engaged California, Frontier Tower, and more!
You’ll leave feeling inspired, connected, and with an action plan and simple concrete things you, your community or organization, and us collectively as citizens can do to strengthen our democracy and make government more responsive to our community interests.
And the best way to address those issues is ... together.
