We need to be a bigger tent, and we need to. It means that everyone has an opportunity to be taught and to learn themselves.
Have you ever wondered how to blend your social life with meaningful civic engagement? Manny Yekutiel has tackled this question head-on by creating a unique events space, cafe, and bookshop in San Francisco's Mission district. In this episode of Unwasted: The Podcast, Manny shares his journey in establishing 'Manny's', a vibrant hub designed to make political conversations and community involvement more accessible and enjoyable.
Manny explains why physical spaces are crucial for fostering a sense of community and facilitating civic engagement. He delves into the historical significance of such gathering spots in the U.S. and San Francisco, showing how his work continues a longstanding tradition. With a mix of personal anecdotes and broader reflections, Manny highlights the importance of humility in politics and the innovative concept of hybrid spaces that combine multiple functions.
In an era where physical gatherings are increasingly rare, Manny's insights on adapting to a socially distanced world are particularly relevant. He discusses how storytelling can drive successful political movements and why creating spaces where people can learn from each other is essential for a thriving community. Whether you're a seasoned activist, new to politics, or simply looking for ways to get involved in your community, this episode offers valuable stories and lessons you can apply to your own life.
Tune in to be inspired by Manny's vision of a more connected and engaged society.
