Effective Altruism Chicago April DeepDive
EA Chicago organizers invite you to our April DeepDive.
A DeepDive is a group discussion on an EA or EA-ish topic. Together we'll explore the week's topic while enjoying abundant drinks and plentiful snacks!
This month's topic is democracy preservation and the durability of the rule of law in America. We'll discuss just how much danger our republic is in and what the road to recovery might look like.
While pre-DeepDive homework is optional, engaging with any of the resources below would give you quite the leg up over your peers!

Rain and location changes: While we hope to do this event in the Maggie Daley Park’s “Peanut Park” if the weather decides not to be good to us, we will relocate to the common room in Marina City’s (300 North State Street) East Tower (20th floor)
