------------------------------------------------
Here at The Highline Journal, our goal is to encourage a thriving community, where people are informed through trusted and truthful information, where neighbors are engaged, and where communities are connected through meaningful action.
The debate around 'parental rights' is heating up, especially here in Washington State, as parents are fighting through legislative action and voter initiative for access to their own children's educational and medical records and well-being, but as student advocates push for more 'student-led', 'student-voice', and 'student rights' and priorities for privacy from parents.
Rather than continuing the divisive debate, many want to come together and understand and work together for the sake of their children and families. We hope to bring people together to listen, ask questions, and better understand one another through these monthly Series of Community Conversations.
What is Community Conversations?
Our Vision statement helps to guide us:
A thriving Highline region where neighbors, well-informed by local journalism, work together and engage respectfully to create a vibrant, united community.
As part of that vision, we have brought together COMMUNITY CONVERSATION SERIES that we hope to host each month, that invites people from all perspectives and views, to share and learn from one another, as we approach difficult and sometimes touchy topics on things that affect all of us.
In order to do this, those who decide to come and participate, will be required to agree to our Rules of Engagement, that will allow for these kinds of conversations to happen.
We invite you to join us for our first Community Conversations next week!
Due to limited space, please RSVP to info@TheHighlineJournal.com for location and meeting information.
