Deliberative Town Hall – Bail Reform – Fairness and Dangerousness Issues

01/17/2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST

Host Organization: Braver Angels Alliance Capital Region NYS
State/Region: NY
Setting: Online
Local Focus: Relevant to NY State
Topic: This event will explore the topic of bail reform and the relationship of fairness, dangerousness, retention and bail amount, if any.
An issue-focused discussion among citizens and public officials, centered on citizen deliberations.

About this event

Ordinary citizens’ trust in their leaders has eroded in recent years, as has the ability of everyone to talk constructively across political differences. Common Ground Town Halls are designed to:

  • Improve communication and trust among citizens across the political spectrum
  • Improve communication and trust between citizens and their representatives
  • Help develop policies that draw broad agreement across the political spectrum

Event Format:

The meeting is preceded by a survey that uses POLIS software to identify areas of greatest agreement among the participants.

The subsequent meeting event is conducted over Zoom and is divided into two parts:

  • First half – breakout groups of citizens discuss the issue at hand, then report out to the rest of the group.
  • Second half – citizens report their findings to public officials.
  • Those who register will receive more information about the topic before the Town Hall.

Who can come? Anyone interested in finding common ground with fellow citizens.
