A Study of Civil Discourse in San Luis Obispo County.

Summary of Study

After an intensive yearlong grassroots study, our League reached consensus on a definition and best practices that resulted in an update to our existing Position on Government that now includes, “Promote civil discourse through action and education for all government bodies, staff, and citizens for the purpose of improved public policy decisions and processes. Civil discourse means, at a minimum, mutually respectful, courteous, constructive, and orderly communication.”
