It began on Inauguration Day of 2017 and it would have ended long ago if everything went according to plan. The People's Supper started as a campaign called '100 Days, 100 Dinners'. But the work of bridging and healing that began on last January was too big to be contained within those first 100 days of the 45th presidency, and 100 meals couldn't feed the level of hunger many Americans had to attend one of these dinners.

Since that campaign, the project has evolved into the People's Supper, has received praise from former US President Barack Obama, and formed a partnership with the Obama Foundation. On this first episode of the Govern Yourself Accordingly podcast, the People's Supper Founders join the show to talk about what they're learning, where they're going, and what happens when you bring people together for delicious food and honest conversation.
