SUMMARY:The 1619 Project: Community Conversations: JUSTICE
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, December 12 at 5:00PM Eastern for our final installment of The 1619 Project: Community Conversations. \nThere are many grievances regarding the actions taken by the current administration—too many to list individually. Many of you view our bookstore as a safe space to express your concerns and fears. In response\, we have been active listeners and have provided support in various forms. \nTo help galvanize our voices\, we’ve launched Community Conversations\, a monthly gathering to discuss the impact of current events. Using The 1619 Project as our guide\, we will focus on the themes of each chapter to deepen our understanding of what is happening and how we can better equip ourselves during this challenging time. Where possible\, we will have subject matter experts to lead the discussions\, but we will also rely on each other’s insights.

SUMMARY:Peace: The Other Side of Anger with Dave Wolffe
DESCRIPTION:Author and educator Dave Wolffe will be sharing some ideas on anger and anger management through the use of The Anger Management Power (A.M.P.) Program. \nThis program has been used with over 1\,000 young people (who were part of its development. Some of the changes made to it were a result of participant responses) as well as with parents\, college students (teacher education and dispute resolution programs)\, teachers\, and counselors. \nThe Anger Management Program describes; \n1. A definition of anger management. \n2. The causes of anger\, both obvious and those less so. \n3. The effects of this emotion; physical and emotional\, as well as the thoughts that accompany it. \n4. Anger Management Techniques\, both those to diminish the intensity of this feeling(de-escalators) and those used to express it are provided. \n5. Situations will be developed to which these methods can be applied. \n6. A summary and evaluation process will take place. \nDave Wolffe earned his Bachelor of Arts and Master’s Degree in Education from Queens College. He has been an educator for over thirty-five years. He taught grades one through nine for most of his tenure with the New York City Board of Education and was a high school guidance counselor for the last thirteen years of his career. He served as an Adjunct Lecturer at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City for fourteen years where he taught the Sociology of Conflict in the Dispute Resolution Program.

SUMMARY:Jack Wild
DESCRIPTION:Jack Wild is a Connecticut-based stand-up comedian who finds the humor hiding in adulthood: marriage\, raising two daughters\, surviving a 25-year corporate career\, getting older\, attempting to stay healthy\, and slowly realizing that nobody actually knows what they’re doing. \nA regular performer throughout Connecticut and New York City\, Jack performs monthly with Circle Comedy in Norwalk and holds a recurring monthly spot at Comix Roadhouse at Mohegan Sun. He has also performed at New York Comedy Club\, The Grisly Pear\, Laughing Buddha Comedy\, and venues throughout the region. \nJack’s comedy is honest\, observational\, self-deprecating\, and just unhinged enough to say what everyone else is thinking. Drawn directly from his own life\, his material covers marriage\, parenting\, drinking\, aging\, hair loss\, health fads\, golf\, travel\, and the growing divide between his generation and the one currently trying to cancel it. \nThere are no gimmicks and no characters. Just real life\, one microphone\, a well-worn blazer\, and a man confidently explaining things he may not completely understand. \nJack doesn’t simply tell jokes to an audience; he brings them into the conversation. If you’ve ever wondered when everyone else received the instruction manual for adulthood\, Jack Wild’s comedy special is exactly where you belong.
