weekly coffee breaks
Platypus Coffee Breaks are the informal conversations about the meaning and future of the Left that Platypus hosts on a weekly basis. They are a great time to meet with members of Platypus, fellow travelers, and allies of the group. It’s an opportunity to discuss issues raised in the latest issue of the Platypus Review, consider the state of the Left, and just hang out with people who have similar political interests. Please join us!
