Common Ground, the community conversation where participants can express their viewpoints and listen to different perspectives in a civic environment will continue in 2020.  The YWCA’s Courageous Conversations, the White Plains Public Library and the White Plains League of Women Voter’s are collaborating in continuing the Common Ground Conversations.

 
People of all viewpoints are welcome to participate, and we are committed to creating an atmosphere that is safe for everyone who attends. It will be a place to share experiences, opinions and solutions to understand how people in our area are actually affected by the policies, issues and events that we hear about on the news and media.
 
We believe that together, we can reach across what divides us to create Common Ground.
 
We will meet 3rd Thursday of every month January-May, 2020 (except for March, which meets the 4th Thursday)
6pm-8PM
