PCC West will host a forum discussing Prop. 115 (Judicial Selection), Prop. 204 (One cent sales tax renewal for education) and Prop. 121 (Top 2 "Open Elections") Thursday, Sept. 27, 6pm, at 2202 W. Anklam Road.
Pima Community College and a consortium of Arizona academic institutions are joining Project Civil Discourse to host a statewide discussion on three initiatives that will be on November’s ballot.
The discussion will take place at seven locations across Arizona – including PCC’s West Campus, 2202 W. Anklam Road – on Thursday, Sept. 27. A presentation by a panel of experts will be simulcast to each of the locations before participants take part in a facilitator-led discussion about the initiatives.
“Arizona faces significant challenges, but our ability to engage in public deliberation to explore solutions is at an all-time low,” said Jane Prescott-Smith, the managing director of the National Institute for Civil Discourse and an organizer of the event. “Project Civil Discourse, an initiative of the Arizona Humanities Council, aims to change this by providing opportunities for Arizonans to talk and listen to each other through structured dialogue on important community issues.”
