Happening TONIGHT at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library! Connection and conversation across differences are not only core to Topeka United's mission; they're an important part of a robust democratic process. We hope you can make it.

Tuesday is almost here. ⏰

People often say we need more civil conversations about difficult issues. Here's a chance to be part of one.

Join us for a structured public Braver Angels debate on whether Kansas voters should elect state Supreme Court justices. Rather than trying to defeat one another, participants speak, listen and ask questions in a format designed to encourage thoughtful disagreement.

Whether you've already made up your mind or are still thinking it through, you're welcome.

📅 Tuesday, July 28
🕕 Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
⏰ Debate begins promptly at 6 p.m.
📍 Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library
