Our coffee and conversations are in the Broadway Armory dining room and start at 9 a.m. Meet up with us there for lively exploration of each week’s topics.

Moderators will facilitate the discussion as the group explores interesting and sometimes controversial topics. Each week’s discussion is typically accompanied by some readings you’ll receive in advance via email.

The topics for 7/21 are:

1) Democratic Socialists of America: What does the DSA stand for and why has it been successful in defeating the incumbents in Democratic primaries? 

2) Chicago lakefront:  What is the proper priority for development — more housing or more parkland? Specifically, what should be the future use of the Emanuel Congregation temple site?  

If you are interested in participating in our discussions but are not on our distribution list, send an email to John Williams and we will add you to the list.
