About this organization
Mission
American Public Square is a nonpartisan nonprofit that seeks to change the tone and quality of public discourse. We organize programs that feature expert panelists and audience members with opposing views talking to each other, civilly, about controversial topics. Though these discussions may not always change minds, everyone walks away with a better understanding of the other side, a key step toward respect, compromise, and resolution.
About
During the fall of 2018, American Public Square produced a series of four programs related to the "Common Good" of the community, which focused on addressing the existential issue of violence in Kansas City through discussions about the core factors that contribute to violent crime. These panel discussions brought lawmakers, community members, clergy, and a network of organizations working to reduce crime together for four major events. We regularly utilize community volunteers to staff our events as well. During 2018, for our general programming, we utilized over 60 volunteers for a total of 180 volunteer hours.
