November Democracy Happy Hour: Defending Democracy with the WSC

Our generation faces complex and longterm challenges, including essential threats to our democracy and civic life. North Star takes an entrepreneurial approach to finding solutions, and invests our time and financial resources to accelerate change. We focus on democracy and shared prosperity — because we believe that these are the building blocks  for a hopeful future.

Drinks, tasty snacks and talk about democracy reforms with all your favorite democracy nerds.

Public Will Building

Please join us on Tuesday, November 7, 4:30 PM for drinks, tasty snacks and talk about democracy reforms. Each month we will invite one or two speakers to join us and present an idea or project that they are working on, and then will have time for facilitated discussion. The focus will always be democracy reform – including voting, elections, primaries, campaign finance limits, disclosure and public funding, districting, and more!We&#x27;re hoping to make these gatherings social, and support time for learning together, exploring values and organizational priorities, and enjoying unstructured time together.<h3>November Happy Hour Focus: </h3><ul><li>Defending Democracy from Organized Bigotry in the Pacific Northwest with <a href="https://www.westernstatescenter.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Western States Center,</a> a nonprofit that works with communities and organizations to build movements, develop leaders, shift culture, and defend democracy.</li></ul><h3>Event Details:</h3>Please note our new location: 733 SW Oak Street, Portland, Oregon.
