What does it mean to be an engaged American in today’s divisive political landscape? How can we unite to restore hope, revive democracy, and foster a sense of belonging within a connected community? Join us for an inspiring evening with Eric Liu, CEO of Citizen University, as we explore what it means to cultivate belonging, civic engagement, and shared responsibility in a divided world.
Drawing from his books, You’re More Powerful Than You Think and Become America, Liu will challenge us to reclaim our collective power, rehumanize our politics, and move from isolation to community. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable ideas, this conversation will ignite hope and equip us with the tools to strengthen our civic muscle and build a more connected and engaged community.
