This event has ended, but don't worry we have a new forum each week!
Dayton has had a challenging year. In May, it was a controversial KKK rally in that garnered national coverage for its drama as much as the community’s anti-hate response. Just a few days later, it was the tornadoes the wreaked havoc in area, causing widespread destruction, injuries, and even deaths. And then came August 4th. Nine lives ended, a community in shock, and suddenly Dayton, in tandem with El Paso, was being discussed the world over. Was it finally the tipping point for gun violence in America?
In the two months since the shootings, Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley has been thrust into the forefront as not only an advocate for massive changes to gun laws, but a model of leadership and the kind of old school, community-focused mayor that seems fairly absent in modern times.
She’s been profiled in the Washington Post, interviewed by countless news outlets, and now CMC is pleased to welcome Mayor Whaley to our stage to discuss her reflections on the past year, what change she hopes to see as a result, and what the future holds for Dayton. Jerry Revish (Co-Anchor at WBNS 10TV) will host.
