Forest Hall at Chatham Mills
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 @ 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
$48 includes full meal and non-alcohol drinks, cash bar available
On this special evening we are thrilled to welcome Tracy Hollister, Raleigh-based MAHA leader, research consultant, and passionate health freedom advocate.
About the Talk
How Can We Become Independently Healthy?
To help those of us who are disillusioned with allopathic sickcare find our way to personalized, root-cause healing and health freedom, Tracy will address a central question of our times: “How Can We Become Independently Healthy?” Drawing on her own health awakening journey, getting off 25 years of medications, and experiences with her North Carolina medical family, Tracy will share how we got to be so sick as a country, who is really “in the room” during a doctor visit, why trust in public health and doctors has plummeted, and how Kennedy’s HHS policies are making a difference.
Using mental health as an example, Tracy will then share a practical root-cause framework to help you take charge of your own health agenda. She’ll guide you through the booming world of root-cause healing– covering types of diagnostics, therapies, and practitioners –plus exactly where to learn about, fund, and connect with them. Ready to break free from sickcare? This is your roadmap.
About the Speaker
Tracy Hollister earned her Masters in Public Policy at Duke and is a Raleigh-based MAHA leader, research consultant, and health freedom warrior. She served as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s Deputy Elector Director on his presidential campaign, leading efforts to vet electors and secure ballot access. Once Kennedy joined forces with Trump, she used her bridge-building and story-telling skills to spearhead the MAHA Voices video series to amplify Kennedy supporter’s stories to millions and help position Kennedy to be HHS Secretary. Motivated by her own COVID awakening journey, Tracy has elevated the voices of integrative practitioners and independent scientists by recruiting them to speak at national health freedom forums and a “COVID and the Academy” conference as well as both NC Brownstone supper clubs. In her own speaking engagements, Tracy has challenged prevailing narratives about COVID policies in national forums such as Braver Angels debates and conventions, where she engaged directly with former NIH Director Francis Collins. She also appeared on a “Why Should I Trust You?” podcast episode with three former CDC officials. As an alternative to the allopathic sickcare monopoly, Tracy is now structuring a model to connect people with root cause resources to facilitate their healing journeys.

$60 per person for dinner and wine, coffee and/or tea
Please join us for the Pacific Northwest’s Brownstone Supper Club! It will be an opportunity to build community and lasting relationships while engaging in an interesting conversation about the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of a local epidemiologist at the University of Washington.
About the Speaker
Janet Baseman, PhD, MPH is a Professor of Epidemiology and the Associate Dean for the Public Health Practice at the University of Washington’s (UW) School of Public Health. Her research is in the areas of infectious disease surveillance, public health informatics, and emergency preparedness and response systems. She teaches Field Epidemiology to graduate students and directs UW’s student outbreak response team. Prior to joining the UW faculty, she spent several years at a local public health agency doing boots on the ground public health work.
About the Talk
The University of Washington – and our surrounding communities – were “ground zero” for the COVID-19 pandemic’s entrance into the United States. Dr. Baseman will share what was really going on behind the scenes – including what was known at the time, how that understanding changed, and how those shifts influenced public health guidance and policy decisions.
We will also discuss the real impacts and tradeoffs these decisions had for individuals and communities, reflect on where communication fell short, and consider what it will take to rebuild the public’s trust moving forward.
We hope you can join us!

Brownstone Supper Club, West Hartford, June 24, 2026: Jeffrey Tucker
2026-06-24 17:30 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Brownstone Supper Club at Butterfly Restaurant, 831 Farmington Ave, West Hartford, CT, 06119, United States
On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club – the first in the nation – is pleased to celebrate our country’s 250th birthday with a book party. The book is Spirits of America by Jeffrey Tucker, who will be with us to sign copies and do a reading. The plan is also to sing some patriotic songs too! Don’t worry: we have a sheet with the words and Tucker will lead the singing.
Butterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of the Brownstone Institute. Come early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun, even if some people come in fancier clothing.
Jeffrey Tucker is founder and president of Brownstone, senior economics columnist at Epoch Times, and author of 19 books. Spirits of America is probably the best seller among them, and the one most personally reflective and searching. It seeks to discern and discuss the particular traits of the American character that built a young nation into a model for the world.
The book began as a reflection on the provocative written half a century ago by Eric Sloane, a sometimes dark elucidation of American virtues that were threatened with extinction. Tucker’s book is an update with a brighter spirit about the prospects for a post-lockdown nation. Since its release, it has garnered wide praise for its honesty in grappling with the cultural and political challenges of our time.
Free copies will be available to all. Bring friends so that we can make this birthday and book party a very special occasion.

5:30pm – 9:00pm
Austin, Texas
$50 per person for appetizer, dinner, speaker
You’re invited to an eye-opening evening of honest conversation about what’s really happening in mental healthcare — how over-diagnosis has led to the over-medicalization of everyday emotional and behavioral struggles, and how a holistic approach is changing lives in ways pharmaceuticals simply can’t.
About Mary & Cyndi
Mary Parker, LPC-S is a licensed counselor, functional mental health practitioner, and author of Wired for the Wild: How ADHD Is Your Biological Superpower. With years of clinical experience supporting children and families navigating ADHD, Mary has developed a root-cause approach that integrates evolutionary biology, nutrition, nervous system science, and genetic individuality. She brings to every conversation the fire of a clinician who has fought for families, the precision of a researcher who has read the data, and the heart of a mother who has lived it.

Cyndi Collen, LCSW-S is a licensed clinical social worker, certified integrative mental health professional, and founder of Flourish Holistic Mental Wellness and the Mindful Wellness Center of Austin. A clinician and educator with hundreds of successful client outcomes, Cyndi champions holistic, somatic, and integrative approaches to anxiety and depression — and trains fellow therapists on the critical gap between SSRI research findings and what patients and providers are actually told.
About the Talk
Mary & Cyndi tackle one of modern medicine’s most pressing controversies — the over-medicalization of depression and ADHD. They dismantle the widely-promoted chemical imbalance theory, expose the hidden risks of psychiatric medications that patients are never told about, and make the case for holistic and functional approaches that deliver real, lasting results — without the prescription pad. They’ll also break down emerging policy efforts aimed at reining in psychiatric overmedication.
Venue, Location & Parking
Casa Garcia’s is at the intersection of W William Cannon and Menchaca. There is a large parking lot. We will be in the ‘Party Room’, which is to the left of the reception / hostess area.
Registration
$50 per person. Space is limited so be sure to secure your seat early. For more information contact Cyndi at cyndi@flourishholisticwellness.com. Please include “Austin Supper Club” in the subject line.

Swami will also be answering questions from the audience. So if you have an answerable question, Swami will have a questionable answer.
Brownstone Institute has been helping start supper clubs like this around the country. Several of us in Ashland felt inspired to take on the task to rebuild real community, have honest conversations and find our people again.

$53 includes appetizers and dinner
Pittsburgh Brownstone Supper Club is excited to welcome Senior Brownstone Scholar and Brownstone Fellow, Thomas Harrington, as he presents “Culture and Compulsivity: Can X and other Similar Platforms Really Help Us in our Struggle to Stay Human?”.
Culture is the soil in which we grow and develop as human beings. It precedes each of us into being and thus shapes us in fundamental ways. One of the essential tasks of adults in most societies throughout history has been to pass its structures and the knowledge they contain on to the rising generations, and should those structures begin to fail at the tasks generating social stability and transmitting vital cultural knowledge to the same young, to generate new cultural institutions that will do so in a more apt and efficient manner.
This latter labor is never easy as it requires that the would-be reformers truly understand the history of what it is that he or she is trying to re-make, a process that, in turn, requires a healthy allotment of time for mindful contemplation.
Consumerism, the dominant social ethos of our times, is different from all the other guiding ideologies that preceded it in its ferocious disdain for both contemplation and pre-existing cultural knowledge. It, and the profit-seeking media that serve its interests seek, above all, to play upon natural human fascination with novelty to generate compulsive behaviors that consign the citizenry to living in an eternally juvenile present, cut off from the historical wisdom needed to respond to the our social challenges we face in new and creative ways.
Is it reasonable to think that a new and renewed humanism can emerge from such spaces? Or should we perhaps be looking more intently in other places?
Thomas Harrington is Professor Emeritus of Hispanic Studies at Trinity College in Hartford, CT. His academic research centers on Iberian movements of national identity and contemporary Catalan culture, while his more public writing looks at how social elites make culture and tailor its contents to their strategic needs over time. He is the author of The Treason of the Experts: Covid and the Credentialed Class and the forthcoming Staying Human in a Soul-Stealing Age. Several of his other essays and a selection of his photography are published at his website, Words in The Pursuit of Light.

Mayor Robert Burns will discuss how America can reclaim its founding values and why limiting government power is essential for strong families and thriving communities.
Drawing on his leadership in Monroe, where a commitment to fiscal discipline, limited government, and personal responsibility has produced positive results, and his hands-on service during Hurricane Helene relief, Mayor Burns offers a compelling vision for returning power to the people and restoring constitutional government.
Come early and meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors. Celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The venue is lovely, the seasonal menu is delicious, and the discussion brilliant.

Mayor Burns delivers a passionate message on defending constitutional freedoms, parental rights, faith, and the founding values that made America exceptional, calling on citizens to reclaim liberty and put government back in its proper place.

About the Talk
The ethics, politics and economics of Western renewal. The modern West is in decline, as evidenced in our institutions, our culture, and the betrayal of our people by elites who disregard the needs of a healthy society in favour of serving power. What to do? In this Brownstone Supper Club talk, I will describe my approach to this uber-problem as an economist trained in the broad social sciences, from both a theoretical and a highly practical standpoint, focussing on desirable and feasible options for institutional redesign. Amongst other things I will discuss the mission and activities of the free think tank I co-founded and co-direct, Australians for Science and Freedom, and the newest attempt at Western renewal in which I am involved: a serious proposal for the secession of Western Australia from that country’s Commonwealth government. I will also briefly discuss the origin of Brownstone Institute’s first published book, The Great Covid Panic, released in September 2021, which I co-authored with Paul Frijters and Michael Baker.

Bio:
Stella Paul is the pen name of a writer in New York who has covered medical issues for over a decade. She writes for Brownstone Institute and American Thinker exposing what really happened in the hospitals during Covid. In 2021, she lost her husband in a locked down New York City nursing home where he had been brutally isolated for almost a year.
Program description:
The deadly Covid hospital protocol
The medical abuse of patients in hospitals is one of the most underreported stories of the Covid era. Thousands of patients were subjected to a lethal medical protocol of Remdesivir and ventilation, and their deaths were falsely attributed to Covid. Stella will share their stories, trace the financial incentives behind the carnage, and provide updates on the latest developments.

Brownstone Pittsboro, NC Supper Club, July 21st: Eric Henry

We are delighted to be hosting local legend of all things local Eric Henry of TS Designs in Burlington, NC
About the Talk
Eric can expertly discuss everything from bio-diesel to food and drink co-ops to NC cotton to NAFTA to natural dyes, and he will! Eric will start with an intro to his wholesale screen printing company, TS Designs, that has been around since 1978, how they survived NAFTA as an apparel company and finally landed on The Triple Bottom Line, a business model of people, planet and profit designed to reconnect and restore equity and transparency in supply chains.
Eric will also highlight the other organizations he has created and currently supports on the company’s 4-acre facility, a hub for connecting like-minded businesses and organizations over the years. For example, the Burlington campus now contains a natural dye garden and performs R&D in hopes of scaling up the use of natural dyes for commercial applications. A portion of the garden is also allotted to Eric’s latest project, the Piedmont Agrarian Collaborative (PAC), that connects the community with farmers. Eric will detail this model that falls somewhere between a CSA and a farmer’s market, being maximized for consumer satisfaction and convenience as well as providing more benefit to the farmer. You won’t want to miss this wide-ranging and engaging chat!
About the Speaker
As CEO of TS Designs, Eric is on a mission to revolutionize the apparel industry for the good of people and the planet. Based in Burlington, NC, at the intersection of agriculture and apparel, he is dedicated to producing high-quality printed apparel through a traceable, domestic supply chain. With his 40 years in the apparel industry, Eric has seen the shift to overseas production dominated by synthetic, fossil-fuel-based materials and he remains committed to helping create a sustainable and fair future for apparel. He has also championed the B Corp movement and TS Designs has been certified since 2008.
Other innovative efforts include developing the Dirt to Shirt™ tee with an entirely made-in-the-USA supply chain, pioneering garment dyeing techniques using both reactive and natural dyes, and promoting the use of natural fibers such as cotton and hemp. His company created the eco-friendly water-based screen printing process REHANCE.
Eric and TS Designs consistently emphasize the importance of supply chain transparency. For example, they developed WhereYourClothing.com, a system that allows consumers to trace every step in the production of their t-shirt, from the farmers who grow the cotton to the individuals who sew the fabric. Simply scan the QR code in the pad-printed neck label of each shirt to access this information.
Solid State Clothing is the retail brand of TS Designs as a way to bring meticulously crafted, locally grown and made shirts directly to consumers. Solid State releases small batches of premium-quality t-shirts and is a platform for experimenting with new materials like natural dyes and creative collaborations with regional artists and makers.
Know Your Clothing is a nonprofit initiative created in 2023 as a means to continue the research and development TS Designs has started so the company can focus on its manufacturing efforts. It is a way for the community to contribute and make a difference in helping repair the broken apparel industry.
Eric’s latest project is the Piedmont Agrarian Collaborative, one that brings together a diverse group of small farms committed to regenerative farming practices. It provides communities consistently and conveniently with fresh, locally-grown fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, and more, fostering sustainability and connection to the land.
TS Designs also hosts the non-profit Piedmont Fibershed, a group that’s a guiding force in sourcing and making available fiber, textile, and dye products, with commercial grade looms available for individual fiber artists.
Eric has lived in North Carolina for over 60 years and he’s still dreaming up the next cool, community-minded thing on his rural homestead not far from TS Designs. In 2018, he helped start Burlington Beer Works, the first beer cooperative in North Carolina to open its doors with over 2,000 owners.

Topher Field
On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, the Charlotte Supper Club is pleased to welcome Topher Field, award-winning Australian filmmaker, bestselling author of Good People Break Bad Laws, and one of Australia’s leading libertarian commentators and human rights advocates, known for his courageous stand against government overreach and his powerful message on civil disobedience and the limits of obedience.
About the Talk
Good People Break Bad Laws
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, bureaucratic overreach, surveillance culture, and expanding government power threaten the foundations of liberty. Award-winning filmmaker and author Topher Field delivers his powerful keynote, specially adapted for U.S. audiences and part of his American tour, drawing on pivotal historical figures and events from the founding era as well as lessons from his own experiences on the front lines of government overreach in Melbourne, Australia.
Topher issues a stark and timely warning: There’s too much 1984, and not enough 1776. He explores the vital importance of civil disobedience in keeping the Spirit of 1776 alive, arguing that the only thing that truly limits the power of government is the people reaching the limits of their obedience. If we believe in limited government, we must believe in—and practice—limited obedience, or risk losing it entirely.
With moral clarity, historical insight, and compelling storytelling, Topher challenges attendees to reclaim courage, question blind compliance, and actively defend the principles of freedom. He asks the critical question facing America today: Will the United States make it to its 500th birthday still free, or has it already gone too far wrong?
Come early and meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors. Celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The venue is lovely, the seasonal menu is delicious, and the discussion brilliant.
About the Speaker
Topher Field is an award-winning Australian filmmaker, libertarian political commentator, and human rights advocate. Best known as the director of the internationally acclaimed documentary Battleground Melbourne, which documents the human cost of Victoria’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns, Topher lived the crisis for over 500 days on the front lines. He has been honored multiple times as Australian Libertarian of the Year and is the author of the bestselling book Good People Break Bad Laws, which dismantles the myth of blind obedience and calls moral courage the cornerstone of a free society. His work challenges audiences worldwide to rethink obedience, power, and responsibility while defending civil liberties, free speech, and limited government. Topher’s uncompromising message—“Good People Break Bad Laws”—inspires people to stand for liberty with clarity and courage.

Brownstone Pittsburgh Supper Club, July 22, 2026: Fr. John Naugle

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 6:30 – 9 pm
$53 includes appetizers and dinner
Pittsburgh Brownstone Supper Club is excited to welcome back Brownstone author, Father John Naugle, as he presents “Which way Mankind? Transhumanism or Human Dignity?”.
In his new encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns us in the opening paragraph: “Each generation inherits the task of shaping its own era, of guiding history to become a place where the dignity of every person is safeguarded, justice is promoted and fraternity is made possible. Yet every era also runs the risk of creating an inhumane and more unjust world.”
Doesn’t 2020 stand out to us as a remarkable decision to create the latter rather than the former? We violated human dignity, violated justice, and forbade fraternity in a futile attempt to escape our own mortality.
Our fight is not over, however. As so many at Brownstone have written about, the threats of transhumanism and posthumanism continue to threaten similar projects in the future, as their faith in technology has supplanted any faith in human nature.
Join us as Father Naugle reflects on the threats to human dignity of our own era, and how the disorientation of “new things” like artificial intelligence is used in every era by malign forces to profit off of the destruction of human dignity.

Brownstone Supper Club, West Hartford, July 31, 2026: Mary Talley Bowden
2026-07-31 17:30 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Brownstone Supper Club at Butterfly Restaurant, 831 Farmington Ave, West Hartford, CT, 06119, United States
On Friday, July 31, 2026, the beloved West Hartford Supper Club – the first in the nation – is pleased to host one of America’s greatest champions of medical freedom and resistance to tyranny. Dr. Mary Talley Bowden has been on the front lines, and front pages, from the very beginning…a paid a huge price for being right.
Note that this meeting is on Friday, not Wednesday as usual. We recommend getting tickets early due to high demand.
She joins us for the first time, on the occasion of publication of her new book, Dangerous Misinformation. We’ll have some copies on hand. The title is ironic. Houston Methodist Hospital suspended her for “spreading dangerous misinformation.” Of course it was the wicked protocols of the hospital that were truly dangerous.
Butterfly is the venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of Brownstone Institute. Come early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun, even if some people come in fancier clothing.
Mary Talley Bowden, MD, is a board-certified otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) and sleep medicine physician based in Houston, Texas. She is best known for her independent direct-care practice, advocacy for medical freedom, and high-profile disputes with hospitals and medical authorities during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In 2019, she founded BreatheMD (also referred to as Bowden ENT), a direct-care (third-party-free) clinic in Houston focusing on sinus, allergy, sleep, and airway issues with transparent pricing and holistic options. The practice emphasizes patient-first care without insurance, hospital, or government ties. She kept over 6,000 Covid-19 patients out of the hospital through early treatment protocols.
Since then, she has established herself in media appearances as a ferocious champion of freedom and rights, and inspired many medical professionals to stand up to the intimidation by boards, professional associations, and institutions. We are thrilled to welcome her.

Before joining Feds For Freedom full time, she homeschooled her children for 4 years. She and her husband are raising three young children.
About the Talk
From Opera to Government Accountability: Observations from the Front Lines
When did you first realize the government was crossing the line into your own home?
For Stephanie Weidle, that moment came during COVID-19 — and her eyes have only continued to open wider, leading her to become a fierce advocate.
In this powerful talk, she shares her journey from the stage to the front lines of government accountability, what she’s witnessed working with federal insiders, and the personal cost of standing up for truth. She will also discuss Feds For Freedom’s recent lawsuit against the CIA and the lengths the “deep state” will go to silence dissent.

About Matt Warnock
Matt Warnock, co-host of the Brownstone Utah Supper Club, grew up in Silicon Valley, but moved to Utah in 1998 to care for his aging parents. At that time he assumed responsibility for running his father’s store, RidgeCrest Herbals, however, Matt’s background was in business management and law – not the natural health products industry.
Because his mother was one of the unfortunate victims of the fen-phen weight loss drug that caused heart problems, and shortened her life, Matt found himself less trusting of traditional western medicine than he had previously been. He set about studying the pharmacology of botanical medicine – how various substances work, how they interact, and how to make those interactions beneficial instead of harmful. Now an accomplished herbalist, Matt continues to promote natural methods for health and healing, aiming to help people reduce their reliance on pharmaceuticals.
Matt and his wife, Carol, have three daughters and several grandchildren.
About the talk
Recently returned from Geneva, Switzerland where he attended the Codex Alimentarius Commission meeting, Matt will explore the pros and cons of the Codex Alimentarius, or “Food Code.” The CAC, under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the World Health Organization, is a collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines, and other recommendations that relate to food, food production, food labeling, and food safety. Matt will look at how the Codex Alimentarius impacts us locally, and will share insights into other aspects of his work including the natural medicines and health industries, and his involvement in the health freedom movement.

Brownstone Pittsboro, NC Supper Club, Aug. 18th: Larry Burk

Brownstone Institute Supper Club, Pittsboro, NC
Forest Hall at Chatham Mills
Tuesday, August 18, 2026 @ 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
$48 includes full meal and non-alcohol drinks, cash bar available
We are excited to be hosting Larry Burk, MD, retired Duke associate professor of radiology, MRI expert and Certified Energy Health Practitioner (CEHP) who now works as an online health coach.
About the Talk
Wireless Radiation Hazards and What You Can Do About It
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibited communities from restricting the proliferation of cell phone towers due to environmental concerns. Since then, there has been exponential growth of the wireless industry driven by billions of dollars of lobbying throughout the states and in Washington D.C. Despite the accumulation of a large amount of scientific evidence about the hazards of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and a successful 2021 lawsuit requiring the FCC and FDA to update their safety standards, these warnings have been ignored in the rush to compete with China in the development of 5G, AI and data centers.
The 5% of the population with severe electrohypersensitivity, recently renamed electromagnetic radiation syndrome, are the canaries in our coal mine signaling by their distressing physical symptoms such as insomnia, cardiac palpitations, headaches, rashes, and brain fog, that there is cause for concern for the rest of us who may not sense the danger. This talk will address methods to assess the EMF exposure in your house, simple actions you can take to decrease it, and if necessary, ways to shield against it. There are also opportunities for proactive ordinances in local communities to regulate the siting of future transmitters. In a world of wifi everywhere, Larry will have many insights to share to help protect our well-being.
About the Speaker
Larry Burk, MD, CEHP, is a retired Duke associate professor of radiology and MRI expert who now works as an online health coach. He was one of the pioneering researchers in MRI of the knee and shoulder in the 1980s. His interest in EMF hazards began when he joined the Society for MRI Safety Committee and the Bioelectromagnetic Society. Initially the concerns centered around radar and power lines, but were rapidly superseded by the expansion of wireless technology. He has experience lobbying the legislature in Raleigh regarding smart meters and 5G without success due to overwhelming industry funding for lobbyists.
Dr. Burk was a member of the Non-Ionizing Advisory Committee for the NC Radiation Protection Commission for 5 years and was instrumental in revising the official government website to accurately represent the EMF hazards. After leaving that position, he joined the board of SafeTechNC.org, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness about educational and health concerns regarding technology in schools around the state including lobbying for bell to bell policies restricting cell phone access during the school day. He also created an online course on EMF topics in 2021, Staying Healthy in a 5G World: Heal Your Home, Heal Your Body.
Additionally, Larry was co-founder of Duke Integrative Medicine in 1998 and has been the administrator of the Frozen Shoulder Healing Facebook Group with 68K members since 2017. His 2025 book Frozen Shoulder Healing: Diagnostic Methods and Treatment Options is an Amazon bestseller in Musculoskeletal Diseases.

About the Talk
The Two Paradigms of Health

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these two approaches shape our health decisions, our view of illness, and our ability to build resilient families and communities.
Come early and meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors. Celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The venue is lovely, the seasonal menu is delicious, and the discussion brilliant.

About Gigi Foster
Gigi Foster works in diverse fields including education, social influence, time use, lab experiments, behavioural economics, and Australian policy. Named 2019 Young Economist of the Year by the Economic Society of Australia, she publishes in both specialised and cross-disciplinary outlets, and her innovative teaching was awarded a 2017 Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning. She has filled numerous roles of service to the profession and engages heavily on economic matters with the Australian community, as one of Australia’s leading economics communicators, in the media and at live events. She co-founded the think tank Australians for Science and Freedom in 2023, and is an author of dozens of academic articles and several books, including The Great Covid Panic (2021) and Do Lockdowns and Border Closures Serve the “Greater Good”? (2022).
About the Talk
The ethics, politics and economics of Western renewal. The modern West is in decline, as evidenced in our institutions, our culture, and the betrayal of our people by elites who disregard the needs of a healthy society in favour of serving power. What to do? In this Brownstone Supper Club talk, I will describe my approach to this uber-problem as an economist trained in the broad social sciences, from both a theoretical and a highly practical standpoint, focussing on desirable and feasible options for institutional redesign. Amongst other things I will discuss the mission and activities of the free think tank I co-founded and co-direct, Australians for Science and Freedom, and the newest attempt at Western renewal in which I am involved: a serious proposal for the secession of Western Australia from that country’s Commonwealth government. I will also briefly discuss the origin of Brownstone Institute’s first published book, The Great Covid Panic, released in September 2021, which I co-authored with Paul Frijters and Michael Baker.
Venue, Location & Parking

About the Talk
Join Brownstone Chicago North Shore Supper Club as we welcome attorney Vernadette Broyles, the President and lead attorney of The Child and Parental Rights Campaign (CPRC), a non-partisan, non-profit public interest law firm, for an update on the legal battle against radical gender ideology.
Vernadette represents plaintiffs in national cases involving healthcare, sports, schools, and social services. Several of her clients have been featured at the State of the Union, including the young woman Sage Blair, a minor who was indoctrinated into radical gender ideology at a local public school then trafficked across state lines as a male. Recently, CPRC supported a California School Board under attack for requiring parental notification if their child expresses “gender confusion” at school.
Her cases center around censorship and lack of debate in medical science, fear to speak up about medical harms in gender-related treatment, and ideological groupthink around issues deserving scientific inquiry.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear from one of our nation’s experts in the fight to protect children and parental rights, and to restore evidence-based healthcare.
Our June event sold out quickly, so don’t delay reserving your spot or table!
