Blueberries + Cherries invites politically diverse guests to talk to each other face-to-face IRL over a meal.

We share our experiences and views without the filter of political punditry or the anonymity of social media. Over dinner, we begin to see each other as human beings who are more complex and interesting than the votes we cast.

The blueberry & cherry crisp that is served at the end of each meal dissolves into a symbolic purple goo!

“We shared an incredible evening and I am excited to see where this takes us. It gives me hope to know that conversations like this can happen so authentically and civilly between strangers. We defied the national narrative about the ‘divided state of America’ and I feel luck to have been a part of this and to have met all of you.” — Meghan
