citizenJoe is a national multi-partisan nonprofit that promotes unspun, open, fact-based dialogue - online and off - on issues that matter to the average Joe.

Two parts party and one part policy, citizenJoe's Policy on the Rocks series mix conversation with cocktails, presenting cool wonks to talk about some of today's hottest isues in some of the nation's hippest venues.

CitizenJoe also hosts Spirited Dialogue, smaller affairs hosted in participants' living rooms and city lounges. Like a book club without the book - just a provacative issue - Spirited Dialogue gets friendly conversation going in more intimate settings. Email citizenJoe to hear about Spirited Dialogue events, which are not listed here.

(Sorry, no objective review from the editor on citizenJoe, since the editor also runs cJ. But trust us, the events are cool!)
