💡 “It just feels really cathartic to be able to discuss what is happening with *more* people than just our peers.”

Over a weekend in June, a representative sample of registered Pennsylvania voters gathered in Philadelphia to deliberate in depth about issues facing the state and the nation.

Take an inside look at America In One Room: Pennsylvania with Danny Freeman's coverage.

Together, we discovered what the voters of Pennsylvania really think about issues if they discussed them in depth in a civil and evidence-based environment for a long weekend.

In this new paper published in the American Political Science Association's Perspectives on Politics Journal, we discuss whether it is possible to spread some of the benefits of deliberation beyond mini-publics to the broader society.

Imagine being a part of a large group of people, all with differing points of view, socioeconomic beliefs, and backgrounds. What if you were asked to discuss a variety of important issues like the economy or immigration?

In September of 2019, we gathered 526 registered American voters to discuss important issues that impact all of us. Participants were respectful, addressed each talking point more objectively, and simply approached these issues as individuals who are being impacted by them daily.
