Arizona Talks: Juneteenth & America's 250th
What we do:
Keeping the culture of civil dialogue alive!
Arizona Talks brings policymakers, experts, and Arizonans into the same room to talk through the issues shaping the state. We host events, podcasts, and conversations that take disagreement seriously and treat listening as the part of debate that actually matters.
Civil, substantive talk about public policy is how a free society stays one. We're a nonprofit building a culture of open inquiry and honest debate, one conversation at a time.
What to expect:
Distinctive events that get Arizona Talking.
Arizona Talks brings elected officials, advocates, and experts from across the political spectrum onto the same stage. We host live events at venues across Arizona and post the recordings to our YouTube channel, podcast, and social.
If you're looking for public dialogue that crosses the partisan divide, come join us. We're building something better, one conversation at a time.
