Great news! @ModernizeCmte was widely recognized as one of most functional, bipartisan, and innovative in Congress, even doing a Deliberative Town Hall with IDEA and a rep sample of citizens on how to improve Congress. Hopeful the subcommittee will continue to make progress!

[CMF @congressfdn]

Today’s news that the modernization efforts of the 116th and 117th Congresses will continue in the form of a subcommittee in the 118th Congress is a win for the institution, the public servants who work there, and the people they serve.

New report from @Beyond_Conflict, Renewing American Democracy: Navigating a Changing Nation, that explains the need to expand our focus beyond polarization to explore a broader range of psychological processes that drive social division & threaten American democracy.

Our friends at @OSU_Law are hosting a panel discussion on the future of the two-party system in the US, which often shuts out consensus candidates from the general election, plus possible solutions, perhaps some form of Ranked Choice Voting. Reg here: https://t.co/FRwTwSPsd7

Former KF resident Seth Odongo reflects on the important role deliberation can play in a political culture. Debate, he says, encourages winners and losers, but it does not always lead to understanding or working together. https://t.co/qlOWqB2fkR

Longtime collaborator and friend of IDEA @congressfdn's Brad Fitch cites Politics With the People, which documents the groundbreaking results of Deliberative Town Halls in his testimony today before @ModernizeCmte

[Inst. for Democratic Engagement & Accountability @IDEA_OSU]

It was an honor for IDEA's director @MichaelNeblo to testify before @ModernizeCmte on ways to make town halls and other forums more deliberative and representative.

[Select Committee on Modernization (Archived) @ModernizeCmte]

Today the Modernization Committee held a roundtable discussion with experts on civic engagement to explore opportunities to make it easier for every American to engage with the Legislative Branch.

[Select Committee on Modernization (Archived) @ModernizeCmte]

Civic engagement is not a privilege, it's a right for every American who wants to make a difference in their community.

The committee and its members will continue to work towards lowering barriers & expanding those opportunities for all Americans. #ModernizeCongress

“There’s so much more in common that we have than what divides us."

Cheryl Graeve, Program Director at the @NICDInstitute, is helping to launch America Talks – an online event where Americans are set up to talk with those with different backgrounds and beliefs.

[DelDemUCan @DelDemUCan]

Our very own @NicoleCurato talks about deliberative voting and calls for the agonistic friend-adversary dichotomy as antidote to cancel culture.

All translated for a GenZ audience in a podcast hosted by one of the PH's top influencers 😀
