This is the second dinner in a series we'll be hosting in 2026 around topics we think are interesting and which deserve a sit-down meal and conversation with others.

We believe that gathering for meals, over intentional conversation, in community is one of our greatest forms of resistance to the things that make us less human. As Ronald Reagan said in his farewell speech in 1989: "All great change in America begins at the dinner table."

You don't need to prepare anything to attend these dinners, just show up ready to eat, to be served a meal, and to engage in conversation, with depth, with others. We’ll throw out a topic and our hope is that the conversations will be structured, but casual. 

RSVP coming soon!
