ABOUT

DINNER
FOR THE REVOLUTION

“to be truly changed
is to stare tough
times right in the
eyes
knowing they will
blink first.”
          - Excerpt from “An Experiment” by Poet Laureate Jesse James Ziegler
 

The seeds for “Dinner for the Revolution” were planted by four women sitting around a picnic table at Park Farm. They wanted to create a different kind of fundraising event: one that would shake people up, while bringing them together, a night that people would never forget, that would also lead to many inspired mornings, and most importantly an event rooted in joy and bravery that encourages dealing with the tough realities of climate change head on.

Pleasure activism posits that to get up each morning to meet the difficult environmental challenges ahead we must first come together in joy. This includes laughing, dancing, eating, singing and playing together. Events rooted in pleasure activism-such as “Dinner for the Revolution”-remind us what we are fighting for, while renewing our sense of hope and optimism.
 

“Dinner for the Revolution” will be an evening and opportunity like no other. We will come together to explore, learn, connect, enjoy a delicious farm-to-table meal, be captivated and inspired by an eco-themed variety show and dance to live music under the stars.

See you at the revolution!

​
