DESCRIPTION:Thur, April 22, 7-8:30pm Pacific time\n\nThe American Dream as it has been 
 defined for more than a century is about the well-paying job, the nuclear 
 family, and upward mobility. But what both clouds and defines that dream is 
 the distance between us, our neighbors, and that we, our communities, are 
 defined by the dichotomy of winners and losers. What has been lost in many 
 people's day to day and in the larger American Dream is the key element 
 that helped many of us to succeed in the first place-community. \n \nJoin 
 author and activist Mia Birdsong and CIIS Director of Diversity and 
 Inclusion Rachel Bryant for a conversation on reclaiming family, 
 friendship, and communities. Sharing insights from her book, How We Show 
 Up, Mia shows that what separates us isn't only the ever-present injustices 
 built around race, class, gender, values, and beliefs, but also our denial 
 of our interdependence and need for belonging. Mia highlights how we can 
 return to our inherent connectedness to find strength, safety, and support 
 in vulnerability and generosity, in asking for help, and in being 
 accountable.  \n \nDiscover how showing up-literally and 
 figuratively-points us toward the promise of our collective vitality and 
 leads us to the liberated well-being we want.\n\nFree, suggested donation 
 of $10.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/04/12/18841556.php
