Tues-Wed Oct 16-17: How could public political discussions be more civil? The League of Women Voters of Thurston County invites everyone to open meetings Tuesday October 16 (10 am to 12 noon), Wednesday October 17 (1:30 to 3:30 and 7:00 to 9:00 pm) to discuss how to improve civility in public political conversations. For this exercise, our state League defines civility as: “Being civil does not mean being silent.  It does not mean avoiding contentious public issues. On the contrary, healthy disagreement is central to a robust, flourishing democracy.  Civil dialogue strengthens policy.  Only by considering all sides is it possible for us to make progress while keeping everyone's dignity and democratic rights intact.” Participants will discuss the importance of civility for protecting democracy; the extent of civility in current national, state and local processes (including campaigns, legislative processes, regulatory processes, etc.); boundaries, protest, civil disobedience, etc.; the role of information; and how to improve civility and democracy. The Tues Oct 16 conversation will occur 10 am to 12 noon at Kathleen Downey's home, 1717 Gov. Stevens Ct. SE.
