What is this about?

Arizona Talks believes in the power of bringing people together to celebrate our differences and our shared values. Elections highlight our commitment to democracy and our role in shaping a brighter future. While they often reveal differences, they also have the power to unite us, strengthening resilience in our democracy. How will we respond to the recent election, and how can we make our country stronger through civic discourse?

Despite our differences, Americans agree on core values and even on solutions to complex issues. According to a recent AP-NORC poll, a strong majority of U.S. adults support fundamental rights like privacy, freedom of religion, voting rights, and equal protection under the law. In Arizona, a 2024 poll shows that 79% of voters support increased funding for K-12 public education, and 77% favor comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship.

This conversation will dive into personal stories, expert analysis, and diverse viewpoints from some of the state’s top political voices.
