Conversation on Building a Movement for Participatory Democracy

You're invited to a Happy Hour conversation with Healthy Democracy, Oregon's Kitchen Table, NorthStar Civic, Participatory Budgeting Oregon and special guest John Gastil from Penn State University.

Join this gathering of advocates, practitioners and academic thinkers to help catalyze inclusive and deliberative democracy. We want to think together about what it would take to build a broad movement for participatory democracy, for democracy beyond elections.

We will consider the potential for a broad-based and inclusive movement in support of a more participatory democracy. We'll ask ourselves: What does it take to stoke such a movement? What can we build on? What's getting in our way? What are next steps, large or small? We hope you'll join us in this much-needed conversation

This will be an informal, casual event among friends and advocates for democratic reform. Refreshments provided!

When & Where: Friday, June 23rd, 4–5:30PM, at North Star Civic Foundation, 1016 SW Clay Street, Portland, OR
