Vitals

Do you like talking about the “big picture”? Are you interested in ideas, society, and meeting new people?

If so, this group may be for you.

Each month we select 2-3 articles or short videos to read/watch about a given current event/idea. We then meet and discuss the idea and how it relates to Milwaukee. We switch locations every time and try to host the meet-up at the city’s emerging micro-breweries.

The goal is to have a fun and relaxed conversation about the big issues facing our city–and meet some new friends.

Date: October 26, 2016

Time: 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Registration: Eventbrite

Location: Mobcraft Brewery, 505 S 5th St, Milwaukee, WI.

Topic: Creating a civic movement

How do we get more people interested in the major issues facing society? What obstacles are impeding progress? Are we living in a post-truth world? What tactics work to gain maximum exposure for an issue?
