Podcast Discussion Club
2023-08-24 17:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Zoom
You are invited to our launch of our Podcast Discussion Club. Like most of our events, we host a casual atmosphere where we encourage people to turn on their cameras and participate. We will use breakouts and other techniques to keep you engaged in fun, lively or thoughtful discussion and help you meet/connect with others who are doing good work to bring about a society where people, communities and the planet are filled with wellbeing.
Our first podcast episode features Anand Giridharadas as a guest on The Good Life Podcast. Anand was there to promote his book THE PERSUADERS. I haven’t finished listening, but one theme that Anand keeps coming back to is what sort of vision will inspire us to take healthy actions.
You can listen on the web at this link or in your podcast app. The episode was released November 6, 2022.

Democracy Collaborative has been working in Cleveland, Ohio for over a decade and this will be a discussion between John, Michael and Sarah about how Pomona might better plan for success.
This will be a bit different than our “normal” conversations as we will more be watchers than participants. Participants can submit questions to John or Michael via chat.

Conversation with Democracy Policy Network
2023-03-29 16:00 - 17:00 | Zoom
The Democracy Policy Network (DPN) empowers state leaders, policy experts, and volunteer researchers across America to gather, develop, and spread a transformative state policy agenda for deepening American democracy. To that end, DPN publishes policy kits — comprehensive, deep-dive resources on everything a lawmaker, staff or advocate needs to know to champion a promising policy — and each month DPN brings together a panel of experts, advocates, and legislators to share their story and answer questions about the nuts and bolts of raising up an inspiring and impactful state policy idea. DPN co-founder Mike Draskovic will join us to tell us about their recent successes and their vision for the future of place based democracy.
Our Conversations are not webinars. They are interactive sessions where the community gets to hear from each other and ask questions to the person presenting. We won’t make you speak, but encourage you to. We do not record these sessions, so that they feel more fresh, alive and a comfortable place to be heard.

Given where we are in the election cycle, our topic this month will be around creating connective interactions with our communities, including people we may not see eye to eye with.

How can we care for and resource ourselves when engaging in challenging conversations?

Partnership Convening for June
2022-06-08 11:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Our idea is to weave together a wide coalition of leaders creating the new economy. We know that many of you are tackling one or more issues to create a healthier California across a wide spectrum of challenges – pollution, economic justice, democracy reform, social innovation and more. Our goal is to form a comprehensive alliance of people working towards this new healthier vision.
Convenings will be curated to be a space of deep, soulful connection across groups and networks of groups while also exploring meaningful topics. We believe this weaving will strengthen our overall coalition and lead to further opportunities to collaborate and make sense of the dense, complex system we are seeking to re-create.
Convenings will be 1 hour, once a month. They will be interactive and if all aligns well a bit of fun.
Our first six topics will be centered around how we collaborate as a nation – also known by the term Democracy. Not only is 2022 an election year, but many of us see see some deep threats to the health of our democracy.
For our first Convening, we will dialogue on
How the current challenges to our Democracy land on you and affect you.

In future sessions, we will talk about specific ways to make Democracy healthier, more vibrant and inclusive.
Please note – the Convenings are not lectures or training sessions, these are about being heard and making deeper connections. We all look forward to seeing you.
