Stephen Duncombe — Dream
Re-imagining Progressive Politics
in an Age of Fantasy

Slide Show

WHAT: Come and discuss our agenda in the run-up to the Presidential election…what are our priorities, what’s winnable, and how do we go about it?

Listen to author and political activist Stephen Duncombe describe how to transform our dreams into the majority’s aspirations. His new book, Dream, makes the case that liberals need to give up their dependence on sober reason, and learn how to communicate in today’s vernacular—using what he calls the "ethical spectacle" not merely as a tactic but as a new way of thinking about and acting out politics.

Join us for a very special evening of discussion with Stephen Duncombe.

WHEN:

FEBRUARY 6th 7:30 pm

WHERE:

Fletcher Hall, Unitarian Church Montclair, NJ
