On Saturday, June 18 we’re going to party like it’s 1899 because way back then, Americans — particularly young people — turned out en masse to march, speechify and vote in raucous, boozy elections. Join Brigade, Brightest Young Things and other great partners at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History for “We The Party People,” an after-hours event with cocktails, beats by DJ Biz Markie and special objects out of storage that chronicle our country’s history of civic engagement.
TICKETS ON SALE NOW: https://wethepartypeople.eventbrite.com
Throughout the night, catch TED-style lightning talks from Jon Grinspan, historian, curator and author of “The Virgin Vote;” Steven Olikara, president of the Millennial Action Project; Jessica Dahl, Director of Impact Partnerships at Brigade and others. Plus, chef Ailsa von Dobeneck will whet your appetite with a cooking demo titled: “The Plate of the Union: Curious Favorites of Presidents Past.”
Much more information is available here. We hope to see you for a night at the museum!
