DESCRIPTION:<div class="x-col e104870-e15 m28x2-l"> <div class="x-the-content entry-content"> The City of Lawrence, in partnership with the Lawrence Arts Center, invites community members to a special screening of the documentary <em>Join or Die. </em>The event will be accompanied by the <strong>Lawrence Connection Fair</strong> featuring community groups, clubs, service organizations, and causes across Lawrence. <em>Join or Die</em> examines decades of research showing how participation in civic and social groups — such as clubs, faith communities, volunteer organizations, and neighborhood groups — strengthens democracy, improves individual health, and builds resilient communities. The film connects national data with a simple local message: Communities thrive when people are connected. “This event is about belonging,” said Cori Wallace, Director of Communications and Community Relations for the City of Lawrence. “Strong communities with people who feel cared for and connected don’t happen by accident. They’re built when people show up for one another, join something meaningful, and then connect to care for each other. If people feel connected, they will be connected enough to care.” This event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged but not required. 6:30pm | Lawrence Connection Fair 7:00pm | Film Screening: <em>Join or Die </em>8:30pm  |  Lawrence Connection Fair <strong>About the City of Lawrence   </strong> The City of Lawrence supports an unmistakably vibrant community with innovative, equitable, transparent and responsible local government.
