We’ll explore the challenge of designing a “Doomsday Clock” for democracy.</p> <p>If you have any questions or would like to join the PDT Slack you can do so at this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/2JuQ2V6">https://bit.ly/2JuQ2V6</a></p> <p>PDT is a volunteer-run organization, and as you can imagine, organizing events can be expensive. We rely on sponsors and donations to help us offset these costs. If you would like to help, we accept donations through Venmo @PortlandDesignThinkers.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.meetup.com/portland-design-thinkers/events/297070645/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
