Garrett Bucks is a writer and community organizer based in Milwaukee. In 2016, he launched the Barnraisers Project, which he calls a movement of neighbors, everywhere. It includes trainings described as "an outstretched hand and a rolled-up sleeve." Co-hosts Jen Rubin and Jessica Becker learned about Bucks’ newsletter, The White Pages, and invited him into a conversation about why we should all be hosting more potlucks. Listen to learn more about how gathering imperfectly with neighbors can change the world, how to participate in a cross-country potluck relay, and why Bucks believes letting others take care of us, and returning the favor, builds healthy communities.
