ENLIGHTENMENT: Ballots and Beer - Let's Discuss Election 2024

We've decided to start a regular Salon in Downtown Sacramento, and call it “Enlightenment."
The intent is to host a few imperfect, convivial gatherings with drinks, food, vibrant conversation, and hopefully live music and local art, with the intent to change the world bit by bit in our own community.

By bringing people together – you, your friends, and your friends’ friends -- we can make the world better by providing a place for people to really listen to each other, learn from each other, and enjoy each other’s company. Whether or not any new idea or innovation comes out of the evening, we definitely will have a lot of laughs along the way. Promise.

Our guests on the sofa are:
* Rich Ehisen, editor of Capitol Weekly

For local elections, we’ll be focusing on Sacramento City and County, but let us know if you vote in one of the counties surrounding Sacramento, and we can highlight a few notable races in your area, No worries if you don’t have your ballot on hand — just bring a pen and paper and we’ll provide some sample ballots to jot down your notes.
