SUMMARY:Global Stakes with Local Ties: Diverse Perspectives on the Election and Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:Join us October 24th for our third\, annual Fall Foreign Policy Forum: Global Stakes with Local Ties.\n\n\nWill foreign policy be a factor in this year’s election? Conventional wisdom says U.S. voters decide on domestic issues – like jobs and the economy\, and put little stock in things happening “far from home.” At the same time\, we live in an interconnected world and for many in our community “far from home” can feel close to home as well. In fact\, more polls are showing likely voters listing listing foreign policy issues among their top concerns. For this year’s Forum\, we’ve invited a diverse panel of community leaders to explore how Mainers are thinking about the intersection of foreign policy and the November election. Take part in an important conversation on the ways critical issues like climate\, trade policies\, the wars in Gaza and Ukraine and immigration are impacting our communities and how they may influence the vote. \nInvited panelists include: Tae Chong\, Eisha Khan\, Mike Rurenza Mfashingabo\, and Julie Trujillo Luengo; moderated by Sarah Petrin \nWe will also hear from Maine Secretary of State\, Shenna Bellows\, on the importance of voter participation for shaping policy at home and abroad. State Representative Deqa Dhalac and Portland City Councilor Pious Ali will also offer opening and closing remarks. \nREGISTER HERE \nShare your thoughts on foreign policy and the election. Take our pre-Forum survey!
