Founded in 1872 by four young men who wanted to form a "Debating Club" to better prepare them for the world they faced, the club soon grew to over 40 members in the 1890s and reached a peak in the late 1940s when the club had over 100 members. Although initially they wanted to master such topics as parliamentary law, improve their social skills and their knowledge of literature, the club soon became a forum where Cantabridgeans could meet over dinner to discuss current events and listen to a deb …

Do you think money has too much influence in politics? Does Steven Colbert's totally unaffiliated super-PAC make you want to laugh and cry at the same time? Do you like pizza and beer and debating politics? Do you think corporations have responsibilities to society? Have you ever wanted to be a telemarketer for justice and public infrastructure investment? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, we think you should support Elizabeth Warren for Senate. Okay - so you already support Eli …

… It should all make for interesting debate and discussion. We ask that you respect our right to associate, whatever your beliefs. ** A further note on the use of the words 'lesbian' and 'bisexual:' Some of us, for example, aren't crazy about the gender binary created by the two poles of 'lesbian' and 'straight,' with the only in-between or both-encompassing category being 'bi.' We question gender as a concept, and see it as a social construct. This only begins to scratch the surface of why the wo …
We are a group of multi-level people interested in the study of Philosophy. We sit around debating or discussing at length topics from metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and logic. We meet every week, meetings on Skype and at a restaurant (addressing the same topic) are alternating every other week. New texts are always discussed first on Skype, attending both or either of the two types of meetings is encouraged. Probably the best way to learn about us is to check out our past events in the "Pas …

Boston-area conservatives can "meet and greet" and discuss issues of the day. Many of us find our workplace-, extended family-, or friend-network-conversations' views heavily tilted towards the left. This meeting can serve as an antidote, as a friendly respite, as a place to pass on and gain perspective and ideas in accord with traditional American values and process. Of course there is no one single conservative perspective on issues. We debate, we listen, we learn. This is a good meeti …

Many of our members come from the 9/11 truth movement, We Are Change, Ron Paul, Campaign for Liberty, and Peace and Justice movements. We are both from the left and right (as in small c conservative, not Neo-Con or pro-war), while examining the false left-right paradigm with deep politics and ever present awareness of state sponsored terrorism. …

Please make an effort to attend at least 1 event per month. Meetup groups are not free for organizers. We pay a monthly fee. So, we ask group members who participate in activities to contribute a …

We've enjoyed our time with other Atheist Meetup Groups so much, we decided to create one a little closer to home (Beverly, MA). Get together with other atheists on the North Shore for various social and recreational outings without having to travel into Boston! This is not a discussion group, although our members are free to discuss whatever they wish. It's really for people who have already done the research and concluded that the existence of deities is just like the existence of fairies...no …
