Democracy Cafe

Wanted to share a marvelous feature article about my longtime Socrates Cafe / Democracy Cafe labor of love that came out today in The Virginian-Pilot, an excellent paper that covers my region of Virginia. 


Feature writer Amy Poulter shares how I’ve made an opportunity of the coronavirus lockdown to connect participants via Zoom from around the world. “The participants run the gamut of perspectives,” I tell her, “but have a commonality in thoughtfulness. It’s a beauty to behold.”


Especially timely that it came out today, on the United Nation’s International Cultural Diversity Day — and, at 3 pm ET, we’ll be holding our next global gathering to democratize and Socratize.
