Lots of people are concerned about polarization and the lack of social connection in the country right now. Husband and wife team Karl Schatz and Margaret Hathaway decided to do something about it. Their answer: deploy the power of food and storytelling to build community. Community Plate, the nonprofit Schatz and Hathaway founded, teams up with local groups across Maine to organize story sharing potluck suppers. Participants are encouraged to bring a dish that has a story behind it — along with the recipe — and to sit with people they don’t know. "Food is a universal leveler,” Schatz says. "Regardless of your political beliefs, your social beliefs, economic background, we all eat." https://bit.ly/3SPyvue

In a new essay for #TheCommons Deepak Bhargava, veteran organizing strategist and president of THE JPB FOUNDATION, writes that as the tide of authoritarianism is rising across the world, many democracy advocates, trained to “speak truth to power,” have doubled down on strategies that aren’t working as well as they used to. Key points in his essay are: ▶️ Legal strategies, while still important for movements, have very real limitations. ▶️ In an age of cynicism about politics, authentic community connections are the most valuable currency. ▶️ The best organizing recruits potential converts as well as believers.
