SUMMARY:BELONG Partners Learning Circle
DESCRIPTION:You are invited! \nJoin us for a “BELONG Partners Learning Circle.” (BELONG Partners was formerly Sound Discipline) An opportunity for informal dialogue with a smallish circle of friends of BELONG Partners (formerly Sound Discipline). We’ll explore how we move toward a world that works for everyone because our freedom\, joy\, and struggles are deeply connected. \nOur topic will be moral injury and the role of community in healing. When you let us know you are coming we’ll send you a Scientific American article that explores this idea as it relates to the military and health care – and we hope to explore it as it relates to education. There was another article recently in the New York times that is similar. It is here – you might read it substituting “educational system” for “medical system.” \nWe’ll provide some thought questions prior to the event. \nJune 25th from 6-8 PM \nThe home of Jody McVittie (Address to be sent upon registration) \nWe’ll provide beverages and heavy hors d’oeuvres (there will be plenty of food!) \nThe conversation will be hosted by Jody McVittie and Stacy Lappin. Jody is a co-founder of BELONG Partners (formerly Sound Discipline) and Stacy is the Director of Program at BELONG Partners. \nWe hope you can come! \nPlease RSVP to Sarah@BELONGPartners.org by Friday\, June 21st\, so we can make appropriate food arrangements.

SUMMARY:Securing a Multiracial Democracy: A Conversation with Steve Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Join political leader\, columnist and bestselling author Steve Phillips and local civic organizations for a discussion on race\, elections\, and how our modern day dilemmas are an extension of a fight that dates back to the Civil War. \nIn his new book\, How We Win the Civil War\, Phillips warns that the Confederates never really stopped fighting the Civil War\, that conservatives are taking full advantage of this reality\, and that those in denial imperil our democracy. \nWith his trademark blend of political analysis and historical argument\, Phillips lays out razor-sharp prescriptions\, from increasing voter participation and demolishing racist immigration policies to reviving the Great Society programs of the 1960s—all of them geared toward strengthening a new multiracial democracy and ridding our politics of white supremacy\, once and for all. \nThe event features an interview with Phillips\, audience Q&A\, and opportunities to get engaged with local civic organizations\, working to create a multiracial democracy that works for all of us. \nThis event is co-hosted by local civic organizations – the Washington Women’s Foundation\, Progress Alliance of Washington\, and Social Venture Partners Seattle \n			\n									Buy Tickets
