At the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound (serving Lewis, Mason and Thurston counties), we are committed to fostering collaboration, engagement, and inclusion, and we envision a future where everyone across the South Sound can thrive in sustainable, equitable, and resilient communities.

After last year’s inspiring Community Conversation with author and journalist Mónica Guzmán, we are excited to welcome Eric Liu for another evening of connection and learning. Together, we will explore vital ideas surrounding civic health and belonging.

What does it mean to be an engaged American in today’s divisive political landscape? How can we unite to restore hope, revive democracy, and foster a sense of belonging within a connected community? Join us for an inspiring evening with Eric Liu, CEO of Citizen University, as we explore what it means to cultivate belonging, civic engagement, and shared responsibility in a divided world.

Drawing from his books, You’re More Powerful Than You Think and Become America, Liu will challenge us to reclaim our collective power, rehumanize our politics, and move from isolation to community. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable ideas, this conversation will ignite hope and equip us with the tools to strengthen our civic muscle and build a more connected and engaged community.
