As philanthropic lab/experiment People’s Liberty wrapped up its fifth and final year in Cincinnati, it helped usher in two entities with a similar ethos: In Our Backyards and the Urban Consulate.

The latter will find a home at The Mercantile Library, where the organization will host community-oriented conversations aimed at bringing people together to share ideas to better our city. Get in on the discussion at the Urban Consulate’s first parlor talk, “Who’s shaping the future of the city?”

Gee Horton and Naimah Bilal of the University of Cincinnati will host alongside the American Red Cross of Greater Cincinnati’s Stephanie Byrd.

6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13. Free. Mercantile Library, 414 Walnut St., Downtown, urbanconsulate.com.
