____________ _________ _____
Just prior to marking your ballots in late October, please join us for
a unique opportunity for citizen empowerment!
For three hours on two evenings -- the first night with Mayoral
candidates and the second night with City Council candidates --
citizens from Ashland will have chance to engage in a world cafe
dialogue about the issues they care most about. No one has set the
agenda in advance The questions people have and the topics people want
to talk will emerge from the process (the conveners are simply
responsible for creating a safe, welcoming, neutral space for
authentic, civil conversation) . Candidates join citizens as neighbors
in conversation at the cafe tables for the first half of the evening.
During the second half, candidates form a small council, ground rules
of listening and respectful inquiry are established, and people get a
chance to listen to candidates talk about the issues they've heard.
These two dialogues with candidates emerge from a series of open,
informal gatherings called the Sustainable Community Leaders Dialogue
held on a monthly basis since May at the Ashland Public Library. This
dialogue series has been intended to weave together various sectors of
the community such that participants can begin to envision "whole
system"/transpartis an solutions to the sustainability challenges
facing our community. The dialogue has been organized around a 12
sector wheel. In the wheel every area of social need and activity is
encompassed — energy, food, water, security, communications, arts,
culture, spirituality, etc. By arranging the sectors according to a
wheel allows for a "hub" in the middle to serve as a connecting point
between sectors. Sustainable solutions are found when ideas and
projects begin linking-up across sectors.
In the spirit of learning, inquiry, reconciliation and integration,
our informal host committee looks forward to welcoming you to this
important set of community dialogues.
Sincerely,
Your dialogue hosts:
Joseph McCormick
Dominic Allamano
