Common Purpose: Community Building and Democracy with David Domke
September 4th at Noon
The Westin, 1900 Fifth Avenue
David Domke is a professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Washington and the Founder and Director of Common Purpose, an organization that works to foster, support, and amplify a democracy that is just and inclusive with a focus on voter mobilization and community building. He is the author of two books including God Willing?: Political Fundamentalism in the White House, the ‘War on Terror’and the Echoing Press and The God Strategy: How Religion Became A Political Weapon in America. For the past dozen-plus years, Domke has spoken about politics and communication with political, media, public audiences, organizations, and campaigns around the country. He is committed to inter-racial and inter-generational community building and was one of a group of community members who created civil rights pilgrimages to the US South in 2014, which has grown into non-profit Project Pilgrimage.
When asked about what we can do about our criminal justice system, Scott Lindsay said, “Help educate influential people.” Our task is “to shape the conversation in different ways and start to lead that conversation.”
President Kim introduced our guest speaker, Scott Lindsay, an attorney, who has previously served as the public safety adviser to the City of Seattle and was senior national security counsel to the U.S. House Oversight Committee. He also founded the Seattle Navigation Team that works with people in homeless encampments.
Scott started with images of two contrasting visions of Seattle and how the city is perceived as dealing with homelessness and drug/mental health issues: one is a recent New York Times article, “Seattle has figured out how to end the war on drugs,” and the other, KOMO TV’s “Seattle is Dying” special; a public health approach vs. a criminal justice approach to the drug, homelessness and public safety crisis in our city.
“So which is it,” Scott asked, “the New York Times or the KOMO stories?”
Meet new member, Jonathan Zetlmaier, classification: Financial Advising and Wealth Management. We can call him Jon for short, but some call him JZ for fun.
Although he graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Economics in 1997, Jon clearly appreciates philosophy. On his Madrona Financial Group website, he quotes Helen Gurley Brown former editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine: Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.
The 35th annual ‘Hands Across the Border’ rendezvous brought IYFR fleets from Seattle/Puget Sound, Washington State, and Vancouver/Victoria, British Columbia, for an August weekend of fellowship, capped by the planting of a peace pole in Port Townsend. Seattle Rotary’s Peacebuilder Committee has planted peace poles in public places, as a symbol of the priority Rotarians throughout the world place on promoting peace.
