All members are invited to join this discussion— an ongoing series of educational “Deep Dives” into topics related to our mission.See emails for more info and any suggested background reading or viewing.
We have a juicy, HOT topic to chew on this month:

How progressive should climate change policies be?
Is there a risk that the Democrats nominate someone who is too far left and splits the party and Trump gets re-elected?
The Zoom info for the call is below (and will remain the same for all Deep Dialogues).
