Upcoming Deliberative Dialogues on Safety and Justice and The Future of Work
The Democracy Commitment at MCC is happy to announce two virtual
deliberative dialogues for Fall 2020.
Safety and Justice: How Should Communities Reduce Violence?
October 14th, 6-8pm
Americans are concerned about violence in their communities and in their
interactions with police. These concerns are complex and intersect with race
and class. Join a dialogue on how we can address violence in our communities.
Discuss options like enforcing the law together, applying the law fairly,
de-escalation and prevention, and your own ideas on how to address this
critically important issue.
The Future of Work: How Should We Prepare for the New Economy?
October 29th, 6-8pm
The world is a complex place, and the nature of work is changing. This
brings up questions about the future of trade and finance, education, and how
communities should invest resources. Join a dialogue on how we can address the
future of work. Discuss options like give businesses more freedom, creating
more equal opportunities for individual success, and strategically supporting
rising industries.
Because each discussion will take the form of a deliberative dialogue, the
discussion will take place in small groups, be driven by the contributions of
those in attendance, and facilitated by a moderator. To help anchor the
discussions, the following issue guides provided by the National Issues Forum
Institute will be used: Safety and Justice: How Should Communities Reduce
Violence? and The Future of Work: How Should We Prepare for the New
Economy?. These issue guides are attached for further review.
To register for one or both events, please visit https://forms.gle/CMAzs43hE6EtNSL5A
The registration deadline is 10/10, and materials and a Zoom link will be
emailed as the dates for each event approach.
