An OCMM Discussion on Defending Our Democracy: Where Are We and What's Next?

Come join us at the Meetinghouse or on Zoom at 12:30--1:15 pm THIS SUNDAY, July 6, to discuss what we can do as Old Chatham Meeting and as individuals to defend our democracy.
 
We'll explore Daniel Hunter's analysis and suggestions:

• What are the 6 key elements of the authoritarian's playbook?
• Who are the "Team Democracy" players, besides civil society (us)?
• How can Team Democracy slow down, stop, and even reverse the slide into authoritarianism?
• What might we Quakers do to effectively resist authoritarianism? What non-cooperation actions can we take? What are the red lines?

As suggested by the Quaker Call to Action (see below), we'll be talking about how we maintain hope and what next steps we might take as a Meeting and as individuals. For background, please listen to Daniel's recorded talk.

Healing and Worship Group

A group of F/friends have been gathering in the Light on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to hold particular concerns or people; as well as to ground ourselves in the energy and love that we find in these opportunities. Please join us if you are led; we gather at 8:30 a.m. and end at 9:00 a.m on Zoom. You are also welcome to join late or leave early, if your schedule requires it. This is a wonderful way to start the day. To join, use this link.
