Forums January 20 With: Brent Larkin, Plain Dealer columnist and former PD editorial director Did fear, lies and racism grow stronger throughout the state in the 2018 election. The history of Ohio's elections trends toward deep seated Republican conservatism, especially in rural areas. How can progressives work with conservatives? According to the “Backfire Theory,” when your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger. Is this true? January 27 What is the role of activists in advancing their agenda this year? What specific community issues, actions, policies, or media encourage volunteer commitment? Countywide activist groups grew immensely in 2018. Will they continue to be stable, grow, or taper off? How can we personally strategize our activist time and resources? Panelists: Steve Holecko, director,
Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucas; Audrey Morris, co-chair, League of Women Voters of Greater Cleveland; Norman Robbins,
