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.
Special thanks to the Fels Institute of Government, Philadelphia Ethical Society, and Join Philly for their partnership.
