Connect and Reflect – Don’t miss Civic Saturday on June 12th

In a time of deep anxiety, disconnectedness, and political polarization, people need a place to come together in civic community — to reflect on and rededicate to the values and practices of being contributing members of civic life in our country.

On Saturday, June 12, 2021 at 9:30am, join Third Place Commons for Civic Saturday. Civic Saturday is a nonpartisan gathering with music, poetry, readings, and small group discussions.

While not religious in nature, Civic Saturday is like a faith gathering as it brings friends and strangers together to nurture a spirit of shared purpose in our democracy. It's a time to connect with others and reflect on what it means to live as a citizen in today's American society.

Civic Saturday began in Seattle, but is now a national initiative – these gatherings are happening all over the United States in communities large and small. This gathering is led by Erika Olson, who received her training from Citizen University in February 2021.
