Civility in our public discourse or Silencing Dissent
Friends / Colleagues —
I am writing to invite you to a meeting to discuss the need for more civility in our public discourse. The meeting will be Monday, November 24 at 7:30pm in Village Hall.
Specifically, we would like to begin a community-wide conversation about ways in which we can elevate public discourse and improve the way in which people publicly treat each other … whether it be at a Council meeting … on a ball field … in an online discussion … or anywhere else.
Joining me to lead this informal meeting will be Councilwoman Gwenn Hauck, Rev. Jan Philips and Rabbi David Fine.
Please let me know if you can join us and if you think someone else should be invited, too. In fact, please share this invitation with those who you think should attend, but please keep me posted so that I can keep track of those planning to attend.
Thanks very much.
Paul
Paul Aronsohn, Mayor
