RESOURCE DOCUMENT for the April 3, 2024 LAD Meeting (including videos, slides, and links), here.

LAD MEETING: “Do More. Worry Less”, Wednesday, April 3, 6:30pm, via zoom. Our meeting’s title borrows a phrase from our current favorite, Simon Rosenberg of Hopium Chronicles, who says: “While they spread lies, we respond with truth and data. Hopium is a rejection of the darkness they are trying to spread. It is a way of standing up for our great country and its remarkable people. It is the key to how we win.”April’s meeting will start with a look back at our well-received LAD 2021 presentation, “Threats to Democracy & How to Protect It”.  Then LAD Board Member Stan Gelb will present a book review of Suzanne Mettler and Robert C. Lieberman’s Four Threats: The Recurring Crises of American Democracy.

And we’ll close out our meeting with Rosenberg’s “hope with a PLAN” strategy: specific and direct ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE, interactive brainstorming with, and reactions to our presentations, from our attendees. We’ll finish with our “Biden Delivers” segment.

PLEASE JOIN US…and please tell a friend! TONIGHT! Wednesday, April 3, 6:30pm, Zoom link, below.
