An Evening with Antonia Scatton and Lucian Truscott IV
Where We Are and Where We’re Going
Where We Are and Where We’re Going
In this existential moment in our democracy, we’re bringing together two experts, Lucian Truscott IV and Antonia Scatton, to talk about how language shapes reality and how it can be used to bring us together instead of divide us.
Truscott writes, “Trump is turning the U.S. into a private club and we are not members.” With that kind of clarity, we can see how to respond.
Scatton makes the affirmative case for government, that it is doing good work and, with more resources, can take stronger action to create economic fairness.
This perfect union of speakers will inspire you to help us ensure our government IS of the people – native and newcomer, brown, black and white, urban and rural, comprising all genders, and yes, conservative, liberal and independent.
We’re raising funds for Blue CD2 New Mexico for an information campaign aimed at reluctant voters in NM congressional district 2 and to share our successful model for turning a red district blue with groups in other states.

Political strategist Simon Rosenberg says, "Blue CD2 NM is arguably the most organized, most impactful with the money that gets raised than any group I've worked with."
