January 21, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street  – “The Importance of Local News”

Nick Seibel will talk about how local newspapers are being lost on an average of 2.5 per week. More than more than half of USA counties are now “news deserts” or have limited access to reliable local news. With no local newspaper, communities have lower voter turnout, decreased civic engagement, and increased polarization.

 Seibel is the publisher of the Deming Headlight and the Silver City Daily Press.

There are speakers on the patio if you wish to enjoy the service outside.

 UUFSC Safety Protocol as pursuant to our most recent UUA Guidelines:

Masks are now optional, but their use is encouraged. We will continue to serve refreshments on the patio and in the building. Visitors are always welcome.
