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.

If you have questions, or would like more information, please email Joe Scanlon (jscanlon1@monroecc.edu).
