The Hustings and The Allen Theatre & Salamander Bookstore Café held our first Talking With, Not At… political forum Wednesday in Annville, Pennsylvania. It was a success, with more than 30 local residents and Lebanon Valley College students participating in a civil discussion of the Trump economy, and inevitably, of the US-Israeli war with Iran. 

As philosophical divisions imperil free speech across the nation’s political spectrum, left to right, and social media echo chambers supersede objective, fact-based news reporting, Talking With, Not At … seeks to assemble college students and local communities in a forum where they discuss their political differences with civility, curiosity and open minds.

Stay tuned for the next Talking With, Not At … 

As always, we welcome civil comments from across the political spectrum on news/aggregate/analysis and commentary published in The Hustings at editors@thehustings.news and please indicate your political leanings in the subject line so we may post your comments in the proper (right or left) column. --Editors
