Tuesday, November 10, 2009 from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM (ET)
Join us for a two-part discussion on our generation's perception of American identity. The labels "American" and "un-American" -- not to mention symbols like the flag -- are commonly manipulated for political ends. We'll try to step back and consider just what defines us as a nation, and how we can alter the ways others perceive us.
Seating is limited for these intimate conversations; save your spot now!
Part Two: Reclaiming Our American Identity
Tuesday, November 10, 6:30 p.m. -- Kennedy's Midtown, Downtown Crossing
Drawing on the previous Discourse, we'll discuss shaping and acting on the American identity. What is patriotism, and how does it relate to national identity? How can we each work to improve the image of America abroad? We defined our ideals about our identity -- but are we acting upon them?
(And yes, you can certainly join even if you didn't make it to Part One!)
COMPLETED: Part One: The Boundaries of Citizenship
Tuesday, October 27, 6:30 p.m., The Red Hat, 9 Bowdoin St., Boston
We'll explore citizenship in the modern world. Which are we first: citizens of our country, or of the world? What happens when those roles collide? Can countries still assert "national interests" in our interconnected world? Has interconnectedness led to a loss of identity? What will define a good U.S. citizen in the year 2010?
Generation Progress is a political action committee that raises funds for forward-thinking Congressional candidates nationwide, by hosting social events for Boston's young professionals. We operate on two beliefs -- first, that young, hip Bostonians are willing and interested in some level of political involvement, but cannot afford big-ticket fundraising dinners at $250 per plate; second, that small donations from Boston area donors can have a big impact on Congressional campaigns nationwide.
