Informal Discussion: American Values: What Are They at 250 years?
February 7 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm PST
Join the Seattle/King County group to share your views on American Values, as we enter the 250th year of our Democratic Republic.
American political leaders of all kinds throughout history have pointed out that American identity revolves around a set of ideals – life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In his most famous speech, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. described America’s creed as an unfulfilled “promissory note” based on the idea that everyone deserves freedom, fairness, and equal opportunity to pursue happiness and advancement. People of good will often fundamentally agree, yet we struggle to find ways to effectively work together.
We hope you’ll join us to discuss the values, hopes and disappointments in America on our 250th Anniversary. You’ll be asked to talk, listen, and engage respectfully with others about these questions during our discussion:
- What core values do you think Americans fundamentally agree on?
- What is the promise of the United States to its citizens? To the world?
- Are we as Americans, living up to our promise to each other?
- What issues might people of good will work together on because we are in fundamental agreement?
