About this Event
In the spirit of Sacramento's California Groundbreakers, we're bringing thoughtful, salon-style speakers, discussions, and nights of fun and games to Davis! We'll kick this off with two evenings at Heartscapes Studio, 1738 Pomona Drive, from 6-8 pm. Both events are free, all-ages, and open to the public, and we'll provide snacks and drinks.
Tuesday, May 26th, will be a discussion on why local journalism - city and community papers, magazines, radio stations, TV programs, etc - is important, and what we lose in regions where our local news outlets close. We'll bring in a few speakers for a casual conversation and Q and A on the roles local news outlets play in our communities, how many of us can benefit from them, why they're at risk, and how we can all support them. Speakers include David Greenwald with the Davis Vanguard, Autumn Labbe-Renault with Yolo Local/KVIE Abridged, and Jazmin Garcia, host of the Next Gen Talks on KDRT.
Thursday, May 28th, will be a trivia night with prizes and a few questions (out of many) related to neuroscience, the brain, and psychology, for Mental Health Month. We encourage folks to donate $5 to a mental health-related nonprofit in Davis (TBA) and will invite someone from the group out as a speaker.
