Glaude Jr.\, Raj Chetty\, Priya Parker\, Jane McAlevey\, Glenn Loury\, Hahrie Han \nTHE POWER OF BELONGING: JOIN OR DIE\nStronger communities start with showing up. \n3:00 – 4:30 PM – “Join or Die” screening\n4:30 – 5:30 PM – Club Fair in the Cinema Lobby \nThe West Newton Cinema\, together with The Boston Club\, is hosting a special screening of “Join or Die” and a post screening “joining fair” with 15 area clubs and organizations. \n“Join or Die” is a film about why you should join a club—and why the fate of America may depend on it. Follow the story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam\, whose viral “Bowling Alone” research into the decline in American community lights a path out of our democracy’s present crisis. The film shows that the solution is within reach: getting involved. \nAfter the film\, connect with local clubs and organizations\, including Green Newton\, Newton Free Library\, The Boston Club\, Ty Burr’s Movie Club\, The Highland Glee Club\, Newton Camera Club\, LGBTQ Newton\, Newton Rotary\, Newton Lions Club\, Newton Women’s Forum\, Rock Voices\, and more. Discover how you can turn inspiration into action by becoming part of a community. \n
