Bring your cup of coffee or tea and join us for our popular biweekly conversation about current events facilitated by Tom Murphy and John Williams. The discussion this week will focus on the Covid-era mandates for protection against evictions and foreclosures, expanded unemployment benefits and the universal stimulus checks. Do these measures suggest a new environment of social justice and understanding of economics? In addition, we will discuss federal intervention into local law enforcement, invited or not. Is this a portent of authoritarianism? Finally, we will discuss the reasons behind President Trump's appeal to some segments of the U.S. electorate.

Register by August 9. You will then be sent the Zoom link to join along with suggested readings.
