Hear from Gary Miles, the obituary writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Sally Downey, our former obituary writer, at an off the record event at The Pen and Pencil Club in Philadelphia.

I'll interview them before turning to questions from the audience. They'll have great stories!

Committee of Seventy encourages people not to skip Thanksgiving over the election
with communication tips.

The kicker:

“Finally, if all else fails and nothing else works, then excuse yourself to get more dessert. After all, if America is built on free speech, then it is comforted by pie.”
The Committee of Seventy Encourages People Not to Skip Thanksgiving Over the Election Philadelphia, PA – The Committee of Seventy’s President and CEO, Lauren Cristella, provided the following tips and advice for people concerned about potentially contentious political discussions during the holiday season. “The Committee of Seventy understands that after the 2024 election, Thanksgiving may be tough this year and we want to help you make it easier. It is one thing to have anonymous debates over social media, but it is another when faced with your relatives across the dinner table. We want to make sure you and your family enjoy (or at least tolerate) each other this holiday. We know that Americans of diverse is freedom of speech and a bedrock of our democracy. Please keep that in mind as you gather around your dinner table. After taking a moment before the conversation to prepare and center yourself, here are some helpful hints from our Can We Talk? program: Go around the table and have each person share what (nonpolitical thing) they are grateful for this year. Listen to understand, instead of talking to persuade. Make room for everyone to speak. It’s okay to disagree. Try to build on each other's ideas. Ask clarifying questions. Consider the possibility that your information may be incomplete. Ask who is not in the room and what might they say? Be honest, but never mean. Take a break if you need to, but always set a time to circle back. One more time: listen. Finally, if all else fails and nothing else works, then excuse yourself to get more dessert. After all, if America is built on free speech, then it is comforted by pie.”
