We celebrated youth in action at our second Democracy Cafe, where 50 activists and artists of all ages gathered for a fun afternoon of art, music and politics. This community gathering took place at the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley, on February 18, 2018. 

This video starts with event producer Fabrice Florin, followed by young activists including Mimi Lawrence and Avery Brandes at Climate Our Generation, led by Daniel Heagerty -- as well as their collaborators at 360BayArea. 

Featured performers include poet Klipschultz and musician Joel Hamilton, as well as singers/songwriters Matt Jaffe and Patrick Maley, who played a wonderful mix of personal and politically-minded songs. We are very grateful to them all for inspiring us through their lovely music and poetry.

This is a 360° video, shot by Gary Yost. To look around you, swipe the video while it plays (or use a Google Cardboard-style headset to become immersed in the scene). 

Democracy Cafe is a series of free creative and civic events led by Fabrice Florin and a growing community of activists and artists in Marin. We think making art, playing music and talking with people of all ages and backgrounds can build mutual understanding and engage us to take meaningful political action together. 

We were delighted that so many young people participated in this event, and joined their voices, hearts and minds with our community. heir actions, creativity and goodwill are our best hope for building a better world.

Join your neighbors to make political art and music -- and keep democracy alive!
