About the event
The wide and growing gap in income, wealth, and opportunity threatens our communities and lives. It also poses an existential threat to our democracy. The good news about this moment of crisis is that there are signs that it is also a moment of opportunity.
Come learn about a bold agenda being incubated at the national level. Bring your questions and share your thoughts. Chuck Collins, a nationally-recognized expert and author on extreme income and wealth inequality, and Jay Kaufman, who served as Lexington's State Representative in the Massachusetts House of Representative for 24 years, will lead this lively community conversation. Jay is now writing and publishing on his “Uncertain Times” Substack site, jayrkaufman.substack.com.
