“One of the big problems in our country is too many people are only speaking with those they agree with. We believe in debate. It’s needed now more than ever,” The DCNF’s Co-Founder and Chairman Neil Patel said in a statement. “The DCNF’s debate series is breaking through traditional political bubbles to bring those with different perspectives together for real discussions on the key topics that are dividing us.”
Thursday’s event marks the second debate in the DCNF debate series.
