The University of the Streets Café creates gathering places for community members to pursue lifelong learning and engagement in the form of collective discussions. They are an opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds and realities to meet, where all people and perspectives are welcome.
*Veuillez noter que ces conversations publiques auront lieu en anglais, mais les interventions en français son toujours les bienvenues.
Death and taxes, we are told, are inevitable – and there is nothing anyone can do about it. During this conversation we will explore the relationship of the commons (all the resources a community has rights or access to) to the common good, and how the common good is made possible by taxes. Do taxes do their job? Are they fair? How could they be more fair? What does it take for us to feel good about all the taxes we pay?
