The presenter draws on 30+ years of experience as a public health and environmental expert with UN agencies, primarily the World Health Organization and UNICEF.
This event will be in person at a venue to be announced in downtown Brattleboro. Participants are asked to test ahead of time and wear masks. Please register for event location.

| What is a Nation? Nationalism 101Starting 12/1/2025, at your convenience Organizer: Seren Dias Location: via Signal group
I’m running several groups for “What is a Nation? Nationalism 101” this winter.
This is a non-partisan topic. All are welcome. While our goal is to demystify the continuous processes of nation building we are simultaneously building community, these goals hold equal weight. This will require sometimes uncomfortable conversation and the ability to hold many (sometimes conflicting) truths at once. No one is expected to come with these skills perfected, just a willingness to gather in good faith and build our capacity to be together.
Group runs approximately Dec 1 – Feb 20.
No one turned away for lack of funds. Sliding scale available. Reach out with any questions and/or to register.
The complete description of the course is available here.

| How Did We Get Here? Democracy In PerilThursday, 12/4/2025, at 6:00 pm Organizer: Tim Kipp & Nick Biddle Location: 118 Elliot Street
Tim Kipp and Nick Biddle (both retired history teachers) will provide structural analyses of the modern attack on democracy afoot since the early 1970s.
Biddle will focus on the development and use of what is called “corporate personhood,” underscoring how it disfranchises actual people while consolidating unprecedented heights of wealth and political power.
Kipp will examine the contemporary apparatus of rule revealing structural attacks on democracy underway in each of the three branches of government. A long train of historical influences has determined how and where we are today.

| | Another source for posters, signs and ideasJon Sachs, a Swing Blue Alliance member is pouring energy into a Trump Tragedies website that has a page devoted to free, downloadable 8.5 x 11 in. protest-themed posters. These are protest messaging that can be posted on America’s streets and easily shared by a website link could help get much more protest messaging in the public eye. Eighteen posters are now available on the site. There’s also an online suggestion box for additional posters that people think should be added. |
