October 7: From Bowling Alone to Building Together: Why Civic Engagement is Essential
Join us for an engaging evening exploring the decline of community—and the power of rebuilding it together.
Like communities across the country, Racine and Kenosha have experienced a decline in volunteerism and participation in civic and social organizations. Together we will watch “Join or Die” (film is rated PG), a compelling documentary that examines the deep connection between civic engagement and the health of our society and, to a great extent, our personal wellbeing.
“Join or Die” follows the work of sociologist Robert Putnam whose research, particularly his “Bowling Alone” thesis, highlights the detrimental effects of decreased community involvement. The film argues that a lack of social connections and collective action weakens democracy and suggests that re-engaging in community groups is crucial for a healthy society.
Following the film, local leaders and statewide experts on civic life will discuss how we can work together to reignite participation in our own communities. Audience participation is encouraged.

October 15: A Community Approach to Safe Schools
Join us for an informative program exploring how student and school safety is addressed across our public schools and surrounding neighborhoods.
Safe schools are a shared responsibility. At Racine Unified, schools, families, educators and community partners work hand-in-hand to foster student-centered environments where wellness, prevention and open communication are prioritized. With a commitment to student safety and well-being, discussion will center around building trust and relationships, being prepared and proactive, community collaboration and family engagement.
The program will be presented by:
Jody Bloyer, RUSD Deputy Superintendent
Dan Neumann, RUSD Director of Safety & Security
Jerome King, RUSD Assistant Director of Safety & Security
Susan Feehrer-Laack, Racine Neighborhood Watch Executive Director
