SUMMARY:Kitty Stryker on Sustaining Your Activism: Standing Up Without Falling Down
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 27\, meet others interested in activism\, and maybe even have dinner afterward at a nearby restaurant!\n\n\nBalancing activism with personal life and relationships can be difficult. At this crucial time in our history\, activists are burning out when we need them the most. That’s why this event with Kitty Stryker\, who has spent two decades as a direct activist and a street medic during radical actions\, is so timely. \nStryker\, author of Love Rebels: How I Learned to Burn It Down Without Burning Out\, has both burned it down and burned herself out. Trying to “show up bravely” as a leader despite exhaustion\, she almost destroyed herself. \nBut now she says\, “Activism does not demand martyrdom to be effective … it’s important to have some fun together!” She’ll show us how to build effective teams composed of people with different backgrounds\, interests\, and abilities\, while managing the inevitable internal conflicts. She will discuss how to inspire powerful action while keeping the team safe\, how to nurture yourself and others while staying in the fight\, how to make your most effective contribution\, and how to decide when you truly need to take a break. \nSo join us on January 27\, meet others interested in activism\, and maybe even have dinner afterward at a nearby restaurant! \nAbout the Speaker \nKitty Stryker is the author of Love Rebels: How I Learned to Burn It Down Without Burning Out\, three books on consent\, and articles about activism and politics. She founded the Ladies High Tea and Pornography Society in London and has been a radical activist since she was ten. \nSPEAKERS \nKitty Stryker\, Author\, Love Rebels: How I Learned to Burn It Down Without Burning Out \nModerator: Eric Siegel\, Chair\, Personal Growth Member-led Forum\, Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California \n5 p.m. doors open\, check-in & reception5:30–6:30 p.m program6:30 p.m. discussion & book signing(all times Pacific Time) \nPhoto by Avens O’Brien; courtesy the speaker.

SUMMARY:Hopes\, Fault Lines\, and the Work Ahead in 2026
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota Political Dynamics in 2026\n\n\nAs we look toward 2026\, many of us feel a mix of hope\, concern\, determination\, and fatigue. In Minnesota\, the year ahead will be especially momentous. As the midterm election approaches\, Minnesotans will elect a new governor\, and every seat in the state legislature will be on the ballot. \nDecisions made in 2026 will shape the direction of our state for years to come.The questions before us aren’t just what do I believe? but also how do I want to show up as a citizen during a consequential political moment? \nJoin Braver Angels for a thoughtful\, respectful 90-minute conversation where Minnesotans from across the political spectrum reflect together on the road ahead. This is not a debate or a campaign event—it’s a chance to listen\, be heard\, and think clearly about what matters most as our state enters a pivotal election year. \nWhat we’ll explore together:* Your hopes and concerns for 2026 — What gives you optimism about Minnesota’s future?What worries you as major elections approach?* The issues that matter most to you right now — Which state or national issues feel mosturgent—and why?* How you want to engage in a high-stakes year — Do you feel called to help reducepolarization and strengthen relationships in your community? Or to advance your politicalbeliefs through ethical\, constructive civic action? (Many of us feel drawn to both.)* Your ideas for 2026 conversations in the East Metro Alliance — What topics should BraverAngels in Minnesota be creating space for as we head into this election year? \nYou don’t need to be an expert\, an activist\, or even particularly optimistic. You just need to be willing to speak honestly\, listen generously\, and stay curious. As Minnesota approaches a defining political moment\, let’s practice how to engage well—together. \nEnter the high school at the door by the flag pole. A parking lot is adjacent to the building.
