Philly was built by people who joined clubs. Watch a movie and talk about why you should join one too.

Feeling disconnected and too addicted to your phone? Join a club. Unsure how to help our Democracy? Join a club. Missing Eagles season already? Join a club. (Go Birds)

Join us for a free community screening of the Emmy-nominated documentary Join or Die followed by an IRL conversation with film Director Pete Davis and local civic leaders about how Philadelphia can fight disconnection and build civic life through clubs.

Based on the groundbreaking research of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam (Bowling Alone), Join or Die tells the story of America’s decades-long decline in community connection. Learn what makes democracy work and, most importantly, what we can do about it!

Hot chocolate and snacks provided. Come curious. Come solo. Leave with ideas — and maybe even a club to join.

An evening of new music inspired by Anandibai Joshee, a Philadelphia icon and the first South Asian woman physician!

Join us for a powerful evening of music and storytelling inspired by Anandibai Joshee—a trailblazing Philadelphia icon and the first South Asian woman to become a physician.

Featuring new music and performances by Devi Majeske, Pan V, Maya Keren, Anju, and Dwight Dunston aka Duns.

In 1883, at a time when it was rare for women to learn to read and write, much less attend university, Anandibai traveled from India to Philadelphia by herself at the age of 18 to study at the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania.

Anandibai’s extraordinary life, resilience, defiance of societal limitations, and commitment to serving others make her a true Philadelphia icon.

Join us for an Ultimate Job Interview to hear from the candidates running in the Third District Democratic Congressional Primary. 

Unlike most candidate forums in which politicians are asked the same policy questions over and over, the purpose of the Ultimate Job Interview is to interview candidates for the jobs they are seeking by asking them the kinds of questions about leadership, character, management, experience and priorities that job applicants face. Each candidate will be interviewed for about 20 minutes by a panel of hiring executives. We will hear from leading candidates:  

State Representative Morgan Cephas   

Dr. Dave Oxman    

State Representative Chris Rabb    

Dr. Ala Stanford   

State Senator Sharif Street  (invited)

Spanning from Center City, Fairmount and parts of West Philly to Germantown, Chestnut Hill and Manayunk, the Third District is the most diverse and Democratic in the country. Eighty percent of its voters voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.  

A crowded field of candidates is vying to replace current Rep. Dwight Evans, who has served in Congress since 2016, before announcing his resignation after a minor stroke. On March 31, join us to hear from the leading candidates about why we should hire them for the open job.

This event is free and open to the public, but you must register in advance.
