Westport Schools: Public Library Kicks off Common Ground Series

The Westport Library, in conjunction with our community partners, is striving to bring civility back to civic discourse with its new Common Ground Initiative. The aim of the initiative is to host positive, productive conversations on how we work together to move forward as an engaged and respectful society, encourage constructive dialogue, and build capacity to tackle challenging and controversial issues.

The kickoff event in the Common Ground series will be held in the Library at 7 pm on Tuesday, May 2, featuring former U.S. Representative and Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri (facebook.com/RoyForMissouri), who earned a reputation for working across the aisle during his 30 years in Congress. He will be joined by noted attorney Steve Parrish, the founder of Steve Parrish Consulting Group, LLC, which specializes in corporate social responsibility, public affairs, and communications.

A more perfect union starts with us. Don’t miss this inaugural common ground conversation!
