Join Arizona Democracy Resilience Network, Disagree Better Arizona, ASU Student Government, and Arizona Talks December 11 at the ASU Art Museum for an insightful public policy event focused on analyzing the 2024 election and the future of civil dialogue. Tickets at https://lnkd.in/eg8HbbN5 Our speakers for the night: - John Giles, Mayor of Mesa, AZ - Corey Woods, Mayor of Tempe, AZ - Stan Barnes, President, Copper State Consulting Group - Mike Noble, CEO & Founder, Noble Predictive Insights - Rebecca Rios, South Mountain Justice of the Peace Arizona Talks believes in the power of bringing people together to celebrate our differences and our shared values. Elections highlight our commitment to democracy and our role in shaping a brighter future. While they often reveal differences, they also have the power to unite us, strengthening resilience in our democracy. How will we respond to the recent election, and how can we make our country stronger through better civic discourse? Despite our differences, Americans agree on core values and even on solutions to complex issues. According to a recent AP-NORC poll, a strong majority of U.S. adults support fundamental rights like privacy, freedom of religion, voting rights, and equal protection under the law. In Arizona, a 2024 poll shows that 79% of voters support increased funding for K-12 public education, and 77% favor comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship. This conversation will dive into personal stories, expert analysis, and diverse viewpoints from some of the state's top political voices. Be part of the conversation. Be part of Arizona’s future.
