Throughout June 2026, all South Carolinians will be invited to join small group, face-to-face conversations both online and in-person on the top-identified issues from our prior deliberative round. Participants will discuss the issue(s) of greatest interest to them and collaboratively identify ways to solve them. 

Problem-solving proposals emerging from Community Conversations will be publicized and serve as inputs for the next phase of The South Carolina Forum: Our October 9-11 civic assembly at the University of South Carolina Law School, during which ~100 lottery-selected delegates will refine and decide on proposals for action by South Carolina's state legislators in the 2027 legislative session.
