Within days of the November 2024 election outcome, these two brilliant analysts and commentators, Jon Stewart and Heather Cox Richardson, discussed the results and implications for our country, looking further ahead than most of us - and other pundits.

 

We find so much break-through fodder for thought about the future of democracy in the United States, that we offer this foundation to plan for our new year and term, with their insights in mind.

 

Please watch and listen to this stunning interview of Heather by Jon, and be as blown away as we:

We’ll start with a recap of key ideas led by our DFA Founder, Rob Dickinson, and vice chair, Elsa Schafer. Then to start our discussion among we the people, you’re see the reprise 11 minute Q&A from Jon and Heather.

 

Come join us for an enlightening discussion of not-the-regular-ideas, by historian Heather Cox Richardson whose daily writings are de riguer reading for activists and deep thinkers. Jon Stewart regales us with his razor sharp, no-holds-barred commentary and questions - making a mesmerizing session you won’t want to miss.

 

Task Forces for 2025

 

The second half of our meeting will revolve around the creation of Task Forces for 2025. Did the discussion create a burning desire to work on a new project in 2025?

 

Here are some Task Force options that our Organizing Committee thought might be important to work on in 2025:

 

Immigration

 

Protecting Vulnerable Communities

 

Misinformation/Communications

 

Voter Analysis

 

Climate Change

 

Housing 

 

Social Justice

 

What issues are critical to you? Each Task Force needs to have a leader - are you ready to step up and Chair a Task Force?
