Join Oregon Humanities staff at HQ in La Grande for a live screening of a post–Election Day conversation about preserving democracy for future generations with Manu Meel, CEO of Bridge USA.

As we reflect on the outcome of local and national races, Manu will talk with Adam Davis about how his organization, a multipartisan student movement, is working to build community across differences. Together, they’ll discuss how we can create a political culture that values problem- solving over partisanship and ensure the long-term health of our democracy.

Tickets

This live screening is free of charge. No tickets required.
