Advocates for Balance at Chautauqua
Our Mission: "To Achieve a Balance of Speakers in a Mutually Civil and Respectful Environment Consistent with the Historic Mission of Chautauqua."
Dear ABC Friends,
At a time when our spirit can be fractured by sadness, ABC’s resolve is only growing stronger. We remain firmly committed to the principles of civil discourse. Our mission of listening with respect, engaging with open minds and believing in freedom of speech is, for us, not just a privilege, but the cornerstone of our Republic.
Mutual respect is not optional, it is essential. Debate and diversity of thought can only thrive when all voices are heard without fear of disdain or shame.
Thank you for standing with us. Your support strengthens our purpose as we continue to create space where our ideas can be shared freely, and where differences can be met with dignity.
Together we renew our commitment to civil discourse with the respect and freedom that allow it to flourish.
With gratitude and resolve,
ABC Board

ADVOCATES FOR BALANCE AT CHAUTAUQUA TESTIMONIALS
