The Next Mayor - Community Forum 6 on Race and Immigration

Throughout 2006, as part of The Next Mayor project, WHYY has been recruiting people from all walks of life, in the city and the suburbs, to come together, sit in small groups and brainstorm with their fellow citizens about what they think the most pressing issues are and suggest possible solutions for the city of Philadelphia and for the Greater Philadelphia region.

They met at the WHYY studios on Independence Mall and included movers and shakers, business people, activists, academics and everyday residents just trying to make life better. We gathered groups of people who might not otherwise interact with each other and put them at the same table to hash out what exactly it is they want the candidates for mayor to talk about, putting the focus on issues, not candidates.

This forum aired in its entirety (60 mins) on WHYY's Wider Horizons Channel, Comcast Digital Cable Channel 242, at 6pm from January 15-19. Check out the "Get Local" section of Comcast's Video On Demand service to see this and any other forums.
