Imagine a world where forming policy was less about cutting through red tape, and more about listening to people for building a better tomorrow. Two of the most widely discussed social issues facing our society today center around our CLIMATE and ECONOMIC INEQUALITY. While many people are divided on these issues, and there are a variety of ideas involving how they should be handled, we were curious to know what the younger generation thought about these topics. In May 2021, more than 600 young people from across the country were brought together online to discuss their insights on these issues in small groups, listen to panel experts answer their questions, and interact with each other regardless of whether or not they agreed on the topics being discussed. In this podcast, we speak with some of those participants and get their thoughts on the conversations they had during the 2021 "Shaping Our Future" event.

In today's episode, we sit down with Beverly, a 74-year-old retiree from Cary, North Carolina. As a former educator, Beverly has encountered a variety of differing viewpoints over the course of her lifetime, but her experience with America in One Room helped lead her down a path she never would have expected to take, especially in the middle of a pandemic. Beverly talks about her move from Texas to North Carolina following her America in One Room experience, a particularly heated exchange ("The Incident") that took place between two other America in One Room participants, and her thoughts on what America in One Room meant for her. center for deliberative democracy at stanford university, deliberative democracy, voices of america in one room, america in one room false full 1 1 2377ac08-a990-43bc-8dcb-2a5b37060567 Voices of America in One Room - Season 1 Trailer Imagine being a part of a large group of people, all with differing points of view, socio-economic beliefs, and backgrounds.
