How Local is Politics? It’s All in the Family!

Don’t let politics ruin another Thanksgiving!  

Meet Alex and Miriam, two Rutgers alumni from opposite ends of the aisle and the same family tree: Alex is an NJ Republican campaign director; his grandmother Miriam is a Democratic councilwoman. Together they’ll talk about how mutual respect, intellectual humility, and constructive disagreement help them navigate sharp and sometimes emotional differences so that they can continue to break bread, not burn bridges. Join us for a conversation about keeping family before politics, love before ideology, and gravy before grievance.  

When: Wednesday November 18, 12:00-1:30

Where: Rutgers University, Beck Hall 251

This event, sponsored by the Rutgers University chapter of HxA includes free pizza and refreshments. For more information contact Jacqueline Loeb: jloeb@rutgers.edu.
