The November 5th Coalition is a broad national alliance to renew cross-partisan civic action in this election season. Harry Boyte, founder and co-director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Citizenship and Democracy and one of the leaders of the November 5th Coalition, and other members of the national group will discuss the renewal of Minnesota’s citizenship action tradition across partisan divisions to solve civic problems. News anchor Don Shelby joins the program. Boyte will draw from his new book "The Citizen Solution: How You Can Make A Difference," in which he discusses how to move past slash-and-burn politics in this election season. Come join small group dialogues to discuss citizen solutions this year and beyond. Learn more about the Center for Citizenship and Democracy at www.publicwork.org.
