This Saturday, join Don Waisanen and Marian Rich, improvisers and democracy activists to play with new forms of political dialogue, public advocacy and social justice. Democracy isn’t just about how we vote for leaders. It’s about creating communities where we can make decisions about how we want things to go. Let's expand our democracy with a cultural shift away from narrow partisan fights toward a more radically inclusive and open-ended form of political conversation. We can affect such a cultural shift through improvisation and play.

Join Don Waisanen and Marian Rich, improvisers and democracy activists extraordinaire, this Saturday for a powerful workshop in creating democracy together.
