Drinking Liberally talks politics Monday at Ridgecrest Pub

Drinking Liberally is a national organization with a local chapter in Shoreline.

"An informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher.

"Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk politics.

"Bars are democratic spaces - you talk to strangers, you share booths, you feel the bond of common ground. Bring democratic discourse to your local democratic space - build democracy one drink at a time."

The next meeting is Monday, August 29 at 7pm at the Ridgecrest Public House, 520 NE 165th St, Shoreline 98155.

Meetings are held on second and fourth Mondays.

Just show up - but if you have questions, email Domenica Clark.
