The National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI) has released three new issue guides for 2019. A House Divided, Keeping America Safe, and A Nation in Debt are all available to purchase in digital and hard-copy formats on the NIFI website.

The following announcement and invitation is from the National Coalition of Dialogue and Deliberation (NCDD).

Forums on one of the new National Issues Forums (NIF) issue guide A House Divided: How Do We Get The Political System We Want?, both in-person and online, are rapidly being scheduled to kick off the 2019 A Public Voice forum series. A popular event from last year is returning on Wednesday April 10th: Deliberation Day will include four, back-to-back Common Ground for Action online forums.

In an article published February 12, 2019 by The Tribune, Lone Star College professor, John Theis talks about his work promoting public engagement on difficult issues and his experience in moderating forums using National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI) materials. Theis also describes some of his plans for upcoming forums that will focus on several current issues including national security and divisiveness in politics.
