Civil Discourse: Can We Still Do It? - July 21
On The Democracy Forum, Friday, July 21, 10:00-11:00 a.m., our topic this month is "Civil Discourse: Can We Still Do It?" We'll talk about what civil discourse looks like, why it seems to be so hard right now, how we can practice it ourselves, and what we can to do encourage it in our leaders and public servants. We'll take listener calls during the second half of the show. Join host Ann Luther for the discussion.
The Democracy Forum is produced in partnership by WERU and The League of Women Votes - Downeast.

I had the measles and had to stay in bed in a dark room. It was the window to the outside world I needed.The dial lit up too. I so wanted to hear my voice on that little box." Read more »
