Risa, Thank you for extending the invitation, particularly as a few Lincolnites have recently expressed the need to have respectful and meaningful in person conversations regardless of background as the Lexginton group's mission states. For the benefit of the community and those deciding whether to participate, would you describe this as more of an activist organization? I took a moment to look at the Instagram page/website was only able to find claims of occupation, apartheid, genocide, endorsement of Jill Stein for President, support for the troubling former MIT encampment <https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6wHwjaNo4t/?igsh=MXBvcGttNTdlM240dQ==> etc. rather than sparking curiosity or promoting unity and inclusivity.
