On 5/2, Join Us For a Screening of the Film "Join or Die" with directors Pete and Rebecca Davis

On 5/2 at 5:30 pm EDT, join us in the Library of Congress Jefferson Building, Coolidge Auditorium, for a film screening of the documentary film, "Join or Die." This film is being screened to support our Join In: Voluntary Associations in America exhibit. As the directors, Rebecca and Pete Davis, explain:

"Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club — and why the fate of America depends on it. In this feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking "Bowling Alone" research into America's decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis. Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?"
