Oregon Rural/Urban Project Town Hall - Wasco

One of a series of meetings to identify issues dividing rural and urban

Note: Free registration can be accessed using Promo Code "Braver".

This event can be attended in person OR online. See FAQ below for more information.

As part of Braver Angels' effort to reduce political polarization among Oregonians, our Rural/Urban Project Town Hall brings Oregonians together to identify issues dividing rural and urban residents. This series of information-gathering Town Halls, to be conducted throughout the state will be followed by "common ground" moderated discussions where rural and urban folks can together explore the issues and seek out bridge-building policy recommendations. We will then collect those recommendations and present them to the Legislature.

We encourage community leaders to attend the Town Halls with an eye toward representing their communities in the (future) moderated discussions. We especially encourage young adults to attend the Town Halls and consider participating in the moderated discussions as they represent both the future of Oregon's rural and urban communities and our citizens' efforts to reduce the burdens of the rural/urban divide. We welcome all Oregonians of good will to join us in this project!

The purpose of a Community Town Hall is to identify actions or policies that are widely supported across the community. Citizens with varied views discuss a critical local issue among themselves and explore areas of agreement.

Event Format:

Participants will divide up in small groups to discuss an important local issue issues, coming up with one or more action items that everyone in the group can agree with. Then there will be a general discussion of consistent themes and proposals across all the groups.

Who can come? Anyone interested in finding common ground with fellow citizens.
