Open dialogue. Shared responsibility.

Lit and Liberty is a civic discussion group focused on political awareness and democratic engagement. We bring people together for open conversation around current events, supported by optional readings or other resources, to build a community that stays informed, engaged, and organized around democratic values.

What Makes Lit & Liberty Unique

🌟 Founded with Purpose

Lit & Liberty was created in the wake of the 2024 elections as a space for those who care about democracy and want to process, learn, and take action through shared resources and community.

📚 Shared Resources as Tools for Civic Action

Our conversations are anchored by shared resources such as books, articles, films, or other media that help frame timely topics. These materials provide context, not requirements. The focus is on open dialogue, and connecting ideas to civic responsibility.

🌍 Decentralized, Values-Aligned Chapters

Lit & Liberty is community-driven and designed to grow organically. What connects us are shared values: open dialogue, mutual respect, and a belief that democratic engagement is a collective responsibility.

🤝 Respectful, Cross-Perspective Dialogue

This is not about political labels. It’s about defending democracy, truth, and dignity. We welcome respectful discussion across differences.

✨ A Community of Active Hope

Lit & Liberty is for people who hold complexity, wrestle with hard truths, and still believe in change. Together, we build informed, courageous, and hopeful communities.
