"Seeking Civil Dialogue in Uncivil Times"
A series of five panel discussions were organized in partnership with Lower Columbia College by a group of concerned citizens in response to the increasingly partisan and polarizing political discourse. Five forum discussions were held starting in August through October. All of the forums were recorded and can be found in the links below. Please check back after the first of the year to see proposed topics and forums for 2023.
