Do You Want Your Voice To Be Heard in Washington? As part of a national conversation about health care costs, the Oceanside Public Library and the San Diego Deliberation Network will sponsor a forum designed to capture the public’s views on how we can reduce costs and still get the care we need. We invite you to be part of this discussion in Oceanside on Feb. 17th. Forums like this are being held across the country right now to capture the opinions and ideas which will be compiled in a national report that will be shared with policy makers at a national gathering called A Public Voice which will be held in Washington DC on May 5, 2016. The San Diego Deliberation Network in conjunction with the National Issues Forum uses building blocks of issue framing, discussion guides, and trained moderators leading to reflection and possibly common ground for community action. What makes the deliberation process critical is that unless people’s lived experiences are part of the discussion, communities may struggle with the tradeoffs necessary in finding common ground. Forums allow people to practice their voice in being heard on how the community moves forward.
