Conversation & Connection Hangout

TODAY'S FOCUS: Conversation & Connection Hangout. Informal, Casual Online Zoom Get-Together & Hang-Out.

Join in on this call for connection, solidarity, support, & sharing for whatever's going on up in this country this week. We can listen, we can share stories, we can talk about ways people can help. We can do questions or talk about how the Shift the Country 5 Things are set up to help us navigate this time, and to foment transformation. The main point is to get connected and to meet people interested in keeping this democracy.

DAILY CALLS: These are basically working calls with whoever shows up; and places for connection, community, and coalition-building. We're brainstorming, putting ideas together, figuring out how to make them work, and going about doing that. Join us.

• This page here has more about these events & how they work.
• Every day's call is planned to build on what we've built up to that point... and to take it further, or to develop something new.

• Bring your brain, your skills, your experience, your sense of cooperation, your patience, your ideas, & your flexibility.
• Bring your friends, & share this around.
• These Zoom calls are open to all who register.
• Call times vary to cover a range of schedules & time zones.

BIG PICTURE: Shift the Country is set up to help us all navigate instability, to revitalize the democracy, and to change our country’s trajectory. Shift the Country has a unique 5 Thing approach to energize a coalition of the majority of Democrats, independent voters, and ex-Republicans into a more coordinated, larger movement and phenomenon like those that have successfully countered authoritarianism in other countries. We can collectively counter fascism, hatred, bigotry, intolerance, and extremism while we’re at it.  We can advocate and fight differently for the country we wish to see in the world; for the shift we want to see.
