The NIF is rooted in the simple notion that people need to come together to reason and talk - to deliberate about common problems. A variety of topics have been discussed, including alcohol, foreign policy, freedom of speech, health care, public schools, politics, race, welfare and violence. The GGRNIF has held forums on a variety of topics since its inception in the early 1980's. Most NIF forums are based on Issue Books provided through the Kettering Foundation. Many of the books are still available to order, and new books are published each year. |
