Film screening, discussions & Joining Fair
Experience a screening of the acclaimed documentary Join or Die, which explores America’s decades-long decline in community participation. Learn how joining clubs and civic organizations is essential to our individual well-being, the strength of our communities and the health of our democracy.
After the film, We Met in Miami will facilitate small-group conversations about what connects us to each other and how we can show up for our communities. Make new friends and dream together about what a more connected Miami could look like.
Turn the conversation into action at our Joining Fair. Meet local clubs and organizations and discover new ways to get involved in your community.

Then it’s your turn: Weigh in during facilitated small-group discussions, hear what other Miamians really think — and maybe even meet someone IRL.
