President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s fireside chats helped a generation of Americans overcome fear and isolation through reason and radio. At a moment when we are again beset with uncertainty and division - attempting to rebuild a less socially distant society, even as winter’s chill portends yet more social distancing – JLG welcomes you to an updated version of FDR’s tradition: a virtual conversation about 2020’s historic election with five thought leaders from the worlds of politics, business, and international affairs. President Roosevelt observed that the “free interchange of ideas forms the very bloodstream of our nation. It keeps the mind and body of our democracy eternally vital, eternally young.” We agree and hope you’ll join us for an educational and entertaining evening – wherever your fireside may be.
