Hey, @strongtowns.org and @joinordiefilm.bsky.social: One of the things #GreenfieldMA has going for it is its 9 natural red clay tennis courts. Why? Because amateurs pitched in and saved something good about the place where they lived. #varticles andrewvarnon.blogspot.com/2016/05/clay...

everyone should watch “Join or Die” on Netflix. My own experience: I announced a book club in my neighborhood, chose Orbital: a Novel as the first book, and 14 people showed up on Saturday. Maybe people are not identifying as Czech these days?

Watched 'Join or Die' on Netflix last night. Excellent content and narrative. Based on work by Robert Putnam and is book 'Bowling Alone'. This is a great time to get involved locally and build your network. We need to renew community engagement. #SocialCapital

“Join or Die” is a good documentary that shows how important it is to link together with other people. I have joined the League of Women Voters and have plenty of solid action items I’ll be working on over the next several years 👍🏼

It was such a pleasure to visit Masonic Pathways for the Grand Lodge of Michigan's showing of "Join or Die," a very important documentary focusing on the necessity of social capital and the decline of social.connectivity since the 1920's. Plus, I got to visit a true Masonic jewel!

I want to personally thank @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social for recommending the Netflix documentary "Join or Die". It gave me a clearer picture on how social capital and community is critical for our democracy and how we can use it to make change. Watch it. It will give you hope and tools to start!

Highly recommend: "Join or Die" on Netflix about community in America. Stunning conclusions about how hierarchy destroys trust, well-being, and democracy -- and how horizontal social connections create meaning, purpose, equality, and commitment to better societies. Inspiring! Organize!

A good Netflix docu to add to your watchlist if you’re trying to stay informed: JOIN OR DIE A film on the history of social capital/the rise and fall of community and the impact of chronic individualism and isolation (Which also takes into account discrimination, desegregation, etc)

Just watched Join or Die on Netflix and enjoyed it a lot; suddenly oldest and I are kind of big fans of Bob Putnam? Very glad I went with that one instead of the JonBenet thing.

If you are remotely concerned about the future of democracy in the US, you should watch "Join or Die" on Netflix. It makes a very compelling argument that in order to strengthen democracy, we need to create more in-person community and civic organizations. It's fascinating.
