Community Conversations on the great issues that shape our neighborhood and our planet
First Church in Jamaica Plain, Unitarian Universalist, Parish Hall
Want to find out how democracy really works? Then head to China. Three eight-year-old students—a charismatic challenger, a ruthless incumbent, and a thoughtful outsider—all campaign for the coveted position of class monitor in a third grade classroom in Wuhan, China. Hot debates. Backstabbing. Alliances. Move over Little League, real sport is coming, and it’s called democracy.

The Jamaica Plain Forum was started by members of First Church in Jamaica Plain, Unitarian Universalist to encourage conversation and social action. Most events are held at the Church. firstchurchjp.org
The Institute for Policy Studies turns Ideas into Action for Peace, Justice and the Environment. We strengthen social movements with independent research, visionary thinking, and links to the grassroots, scholars and elected officials. I.F. Stone once called IPS "the think tank for the rest of us." ips-dc.org
The Jamaica Plain Forum is new to the Jamaica Plain community, but comes out of the "Chautauqua" movement of the late 19th and early 20th century. For more information: forumorganizing.org
