Earlier this month, Morten Group's Chicago-based team members came together for our annual working retreat, where we gathered to discuss our Theory of Change and Logic Model, continue our Scenario Planning conversations, and get a peek at what's coming in next year's Operational Plan. Special thanks to Operations and Media Strategy Director Vince Pagán-Hill for organizing the retreat, and thank you to everyone who facilitated and attended!

Check out this amazing post from friend of Morten Group (and past placement and guest on Gathering Ground!) Gabrielle Lyon, discussing why boiling states down to "red" and "blue" is 'erosive' and can do more harm than good.
I'm thinking a lot about our state and our country today. Probably you are too. If you're like me, you're seeing a lot of maps, or reading the news, and seeing - for example - Illinois being illustrated as a "blue state" surrounded by "red states." These are profound oversimplifications - and they are erosive. None of us are just one thing - not our vote, not our worst mistake, and not our most generous moment. We are all, together, so much more than reductive narratives try to tell us we are. There is no county or town or city in Illinois that is 100% "red" or "blue." Colors are not people. Geography is not people. Our state is comprised of nearly 13 million people who are as diverse and complex as is the fullness of America. I appreciate this deeply every day in my role as the Executive Director of Illinois Humanities. The public humanities reminds?us to embrace complexity. In the weeks and months ahead our work Illinois Humanities is - as it has been - will be about practicing the humanities to help people engage beyond boundaries rather than retreat into the familiar.?We will continue to find ways not only to embrace complexity, but to seek it out and to help others do the same.? Our mission, vision, and values call upon us to enable residents of our state to be creative in the face of narratives that reduce and simplify us; to protect spaces that allow us to?to have challenging conversations; to catalyze connections so that we can be with one another in community. In a few minutes I'll board a plane and fly over "flyover country" to spend a few days with my mom in New Mexico. There's a lot to process but I'm carrying two things with me. One of the things I'm taking on board is the feeling that it's a privilege to work for an organization established provide what is most required in this moment: ensuring access to the humanities in Illinois so that we can develop?the wisdom and vision our democracy requires. The second thing I'm taking is a reminder to myself: that the simple act of resisting reduction is a powerful form of resistance and commitment to the idea of a democracy comprised of "We the People."
