On April 22, 2018, Common Ground Committee at The Haven in Charlottesville, Va presented our ninth public forum. Our panelists were Donna Brazile and Michael Steele. Moderating the forum was Wendi C. Thomas from The Christian Science Monitor. We are a citizen-led nonprofit organization focused on “Bringing Light Not Heat To Public Discourse.” We have no partisan political agenda and guard our financial independence.  

Partnering with us for this event was the international, multi-Pulitzer Prize winning publication The Christian Science Monitor, representing the highest grade of global journalism available today. Its motto is “To Injure No Man, but to Bless All Mankind.”
