Are you looking for an opportunity to decipher and more deeply understand the issues and points of view swirling in advance of the city's upcoming election? In this year's candidate forums, there have been many scripted, time-locked answers to pre-delivered questions. While those might help one get a sense of who to vote for, they only go so far in getting to know November 4th candidates and how they'd approach problems.
 So, you're invited to join in a live, unscripted, loosely timed conversation between the audience and eleven "Change" candidates. This is your pre-election chance to raise concerns and deepen dialogues about what matters most to you.
 If this is appealing, you're not alone-- these candidates are excited about it too, because together you can dive into problems, solutions and what your hopes are for Northampton. Upon being invited, one candidate wrote: “Would love some time to dream without time limits and scripted answers!”
  What matters most to you right now? Potholes? Schools? How downtown looks and functions? Other things?
 Come. Ask.
 No scripts, no being read to, no hurried, rote answers.
 Moderated by WHMP’s Dan Torres, you’ll get to hear change candidates explore, with each other and with you, the local issues that matter most.
 FREE and open to ALL: decided, undecided, opposing, supporting
