Tallahassee Town Hall
Let’s Do Democracy
There’s nothing more quintessentially American than a town hall meeting. Within its ethos is the important founding principle that political foes must grudgingly become partners as they engage conflicting ideas in order to govern. It’s the old-fashioned spirit of rolling up our sleeves and just getting it done. We hope you’ll join us to be a part of it either live in the WFSU studio or via Zoom.
Our annual town hall pairs commissioners from the City of Tallahassee and Leon County to have a constructive (and neighborly) cross-governmental discussion about where we are, where we’re going and what the challenges out there on the horizon might be. You know, democracy. Booyah. (Look – Washington – at how it’s done.) Our town hall is facilitated by former Tallahassee Democrat Publisher Skip Foster – and powered by Leadership Tallahassee. And this year, Leon County Supervisor of Elections Mark Earley will start us off with brief comments on voter education to ensure we’re all well-equipped when it comes time to exercise our right to vote. All County and City Commissioners have been invited to participate – those pictured below have confirmed.
In-person attendance will be limited. The program also will be available via Zoom, and livestreamed at wfsu.org/live and on Facebook Live.

Oyez, oyez, oyez. Join the Town Hall.
Despite the differences between our founders – and the odds against them – in this new country the king was no longer the seat of power. It was now the humble town hall. It’s now our job to govern.
