About this Event
What is driving the rise in loneliness, anxiety, and polarization in our local community? What would it look like to put families and neighborhoods first? What does common good pluralism as a path forward look like?
Co-Hosted by Bethany Legacy Foundation and Capita (a national think tank), this town hall invites Jefferson County, Indiana, citizens to sit alongside elected officials, civic leaders, partners from various sectors (such as education, arts, nonprofits, employers, the faith community, retail, law enforcement) and you — Jefferson County citizens — sitting alongside each to ask hard questions and imagine new possibilities together.
