Start a civic revolution from your living room.
Little salons, hosted in American living rooms*
*Or kitchen. Or dining room. Really, wherever you want.
Salonettes are a social way for people to learn about and discuss whatever impacts their day to day lives.
You host friends and neighbors on a monthly basis for a casual conversation about issues that affect your community with the goal of increasing participants’ investment in and engagement with the democratic process. Invite public officials to join you for a respectful, direct, off-the-record conversation about what they are doing and why. Learn about the community and deepen you social connections while doing so.
Facilitate informed, interactive discussion within our communities, about our communities.
Every salonette follows three central principles to increase individual investment in the democratic process:
Inform: Learn about issues that matter to the community.
Interact: Have conversational discussion and debate about these issues with friends and neighbors.
Involve: Meet with local, state, and federal officials and institutions to ask questions, voice support, and flag concerns.
