Film Screening (Purple) & The People's Supper
October 13, 2022
The People’s Supper, is an organization that works to bring people of varying religious/political/ideological beliefs together around food and conversation.
In a moment of acute political division, the supper table is a uniquely simple and sacred space through which we can find real nourishment and real healing. The People’s Supper has hosted thousands of suppers across the country, born of a belief that a group of thoughtful people who differ from one another — politically, culturally, racially, and generationally — can sit down over a shared meal and engage in meaningful conversation together.
On Thursday, October 13th, at 6:30pm we brought diverse GVSU and Grand Rapids Community participants together for a meal and conversation in the nationwide lead up to the midterm elections.
