Democracy Happy Hour TODAY @ 5 pm PT/8 pm ET via Zoom!

Grab a drink and come hear about the latest democracy news, ongoing efforts to fix democracy, and actions you can take at our weekly Democracy Happy Hour, Wednesdays @ 5 pm PT/8 pm ET. This is an online virtual event via Zoom.

We all feel it: something is pulling us apart. Neighbors who used to talk across the fence now glare across a divide. Families struggle to talk about the world without arguing. Whole communities feel blamed, forgotten, or under attack.

In this public talk, Rev. Terry Kyllo offers a hopeful, practical path forward. Drawing from social research, Scripture, interfaith wisdom, and years of bridge-building work, Terry explains how our human nature is being hacked—by digital algorithms, political movements, and economic forces—and how fear drives us into exclusive in groups that turn neighbors into strangers. This gets expressed in Christian Nationalism, extremist groups, cancel culture, and moral emptiness.

But he also shows how we can reclaim our agency, restore trust, and rebuild our communities.

Terry lifts up the unseen majority—people of many traditions, backgrounds, and beliefs—who want to live with respect, courage, and shared purpose. He invites us into a new way of seeing each other, grounded in Civic Compassion, Civic Humility, and Civil Courage.

This event is for anyone who feels anxious about the future, tired of division, or longing for a more human way to live together.

Come hear a message of clarity, honesty, and hope—and take a step toward healing our common life.
