Brownstone Supper Club, West Hartford, November 19, 2025: Alex Sullivan

On Wednesday, November 19, the famous West Hartford Supper Club is pleased to welcome Alex Sullivan, author of She Didn’t Start the Fire: The True Story of One Mother’s Journey from Apolitical to Activist. 

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.

Alex Sullivan graduated from Duke University with a double major in Mathematics and Theater. She began her career on the commodities sales and trading desk at JPMorgan, where navigating the shark-infested waters of Wall Street prepared her well for the challenges of the outside world. When the global pandemic struck in 2020, Alex left her career on Wall Street to become a stay-at-home mother, taking on a new kind of challenge: protecting children. Since then, she has devoted herself to educating parents—especially women—on the importance of grassroots activism, community engagement, and prioritizing our children as the future of America.

She co-founded New Canaan Unplugged, a parent-led initiative helping families cultivate a more mindful relationship with technology. Alex also serves as the Connecticut Chapter Lead of the Independent Women’s Network (IWN), which operates in Fairfield County as a hub for like-minded individuals pushing back against divisive ideologies in schools and local communities.
