Are the days of America's two-party system numbered? Adam Brandon, Senior Advisor at The Independent Center, thinks so. With more Americans identifying as independents, Brandon and his colleagues at The Independent Center are working to disrupt the Republican/Democrat duopoly and rally voters around alternative candidates who will appeal to the vast center. Young voters, especially millennials and Gen Z, have the power to make this idea a reality. Join a conversation with Adam Brandon to hear about his vision for organizing Independent voters and disrupting partisan politics in the U.S. The conversation will be moderated by Leela Strong, Newhouse Director of Tisch College's Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE). Registration required, all are welcome. Lunch provided.

Adam Brandon is a Senior Advisor at The Independent Center. His experience spans across foreign and domestic policy with the U.S. State Department, where he served as an intern in Washington, D.C. and Belfast, Northern, Ireland, and in politics working on both national and local campaigns. He most recently served as President of FreedomWorks for over a decade and was also a leading figure in the Tea Party movement.  Learn more at http://tufts.presence.io/event/independents-day-breaking-the-partisan-grip-on-american-politics

Register (In-Person)     Register (Virtual) Tufts Catholic Chaplain Lynn Cooper, A02, believes that interfaith friendship, when rooted in trust, vulnerability, and the courage to honor difference, has the power to heal deep divisions and move communities toward lasting justice. In her new book, Embracing Our Time: The Sacrament of Interfaith Friendship, she makes a bold case for seeing human connection itself as a civic act, one that strengthens both individuals and the communities they shape together. Over lunch, Lynn will share reflections from her work and writing, drawing on her experiences of building bridges across traditions at Tufts and in the wider world. Together, we’ll consider what it means to cultivate belonging in divided times, and how each of us can practice the kind of friendship that makes civic life more just, inclusive, and whole. Registration required, all are welcome. Lunch provided. Lynn Cooper is the Associate Director of the University Chaplaincy and Catholic Chaplain at Tufts University. She holds a Doctor of Ministry from Boston University School of Theology and an M.Div. from Harvard Divinity School. At Tufts, she runs an interfaith friendship for students, faculty, and staff, facilitates the interfaith student council, and directs an intergenerational oral history that magnifies the wisdom and stories of lay folks. Lynn's first book, Embracing Our Time: The Sacrament of Interfaith Friendship, came out in May 2025 from Fortress Press.

This lunch is part of From Tufts, Forward, our semester-long Civic Life Lunch theme exploring how the Tufts community carries ideas forward on campus, in local communities, and far beyond. Each event reflects the momentum we create together through creativity, dialogue, and civic responsibility, and how that momentum extends into lasting impact.
