Our summer calendar of events kicks off with this timely discussion about the United States and Iran. The recent military aggression has been rightfully and widely criticized, but too many Americans are only processing this war in terms of what it's doing to our prices at the gas pump.
Let's dig deeper on Saturday! Why was Iran's secular, democratic government in the 1950s overthrown by the CIA and their British counterparts? What has made the post-1979 Iranian government so hated by Washington? (Hint: It's not their Islamic fundamentalism... look at the U.S.-Saudi relationship.) What's at stake now in 2026?
This discussion may be held indoors or on our porch, depending on how favorable the weather is.
As always, our events are free and open to the public. The Black Cat House welcomes all ages, and is a drug and alcohol-free venue. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, we ask that all guests wear face masks inside our space. We are wheelchair accessible.
