Voices United: Building Bridges for Civic Dialogue and Action

What happens when citizens stop showing up? Our democracy falters. But what if every generation—young and old—took up the mantle of civic engagement? In this bold, no-holds-barred forum, local leaders will dive into how activism and civic duty have evolved across the years and why now, more than ever, your participation is vital. This is more than just a conversation; it’s a wake-up call to ordinary citizens who hold extraordinary power to shape the future of our democracy. Will you answer the call?

Ginther; David Lapp, Co-Founder, Braver Angels, and with moderator Sophia Fifner, President & CEO, The Columbus Metropolitan Club. Additional panelists to be announced.
