TIRED OF POLITICS AS USUAL? SO ARE WE.

What if a conversation about voting wasn't about telling you who to vote for?
What if it was about helping you decide for yourself?
Join us for a Community Voter Dialogue — a different kind of civic conversation.
No candidates.
No campaigning.
No political party agenda.
No debating or trying to change someone else's mind.
Instead, we'll talk about how to:
✓ Evaluate candidates beyond campaign slogans
✓ Think critically about the issues that matter to you
✓ Listen respectfully when people disagree
✓ Recognize the difference between information and persuasion
✓ Make an informed voting decision based on your own values and priorities
Thursday, August 20 | 6:00–7:30 PM
Petersburg Public Library
Wellness Room, 2nd Floor
Free and open to the community.
You don't have to agree with your neighbors to have a conversation with them.
Listening Across Differences. Making Informed Choices. Strengthening Our Community.

Please share this post with someone who believes we can disagree without becoming enemies.

DO YOU HAVE A VOTING PLAN?

Before Election Day, can you answer these questions?

✓ Am I registered?
✓ Is my address current?
✓ What districts am I in?
✓ What's on my ballot?
✓ Who are the candidates?
✓ Have I researched them?
✓ Are there ballot questions I need to understand?
✓ Will I vote early, by mail, or on Election Day?
✓ Where will I vote?
✓ What's my backup plan?

The Think Like a Mediator™ Non-Partisan Voter Guide will help you work through these questions one step at a time.

We Invest in Community Mediation!

Celebrate mini-grants, learning communities, local innovation, and the movement of resources into communities.

The JAMS Foundation–NAFCM Mini-Grant Program does more than provide financial support. Grantees participate in learning communities, develop replicable approaches, and contribute materials that can benefit the broader field. The 2026 grant track focuses on mediating family conflict during transition points, as the work continues in creating national products since 2014. https://www.nafcm.org/general/custom.asp?page=Programs

NAFCM helps local innovation become shared field knowledge.
