Fireside Forum on Foreign Policy
As Wisconsinites prepare to go to the polls in national elections, the Fireside Forum on Foreign Policy connects four key policy issues to the lives of the citizens of our state. Speakers will provide both a national context and local impact to help audience members make informed decisions on policies going forward and the best candidates to bring them about. Look for opinion pieces by our speakers in the Crossroads section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the Sunday before each talk, then join us Tuesday evenings for a lively discussion of these important issues that will impact us all.
