TAKODA Shaw September 18

TAKODA Shaw

"Self-imposed solitude might just be the most important social fact of the 21st century in America." - Derek Thompson

Our +MPU events at TAKODA Shaw center around conversations about civic and societal issues of particular relevance today.

On the evening of September 18th, we will tee up a structured discussion on the ideas captured in Derek Thompson's cover story in The Atlantic in January 2025 - "The Anti-Social Century" - https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/02/american-loneliness-personality-politics/681091/ (We will email a pdf to those who register).

Join us for an opportunity for meaningful engagement with some of your fellow Americans. If you're concerned about polarization and believe in the importance of bridging across differences, then take action and show up. Plus food and drink is on us.

About the DMV, Washington Chapter

Washington, D.C. has always been a place of compromise. Born as the beating heart of American democracy, D.C. has long been a symbol of what we can achieve when we come together, and what can go wrong when division takes the place of connectedness in our communities.

The D.C. Brickyard is led by Ben Bain and Ryan Smither.
