organized local forum concept

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in promoting people to speak up by running forums once every month. Like an outdoor, or indoor gathering of local citizens to talk about current issues and ways to resolve them. Having many chapters throughout north america could be a real step toward organized resistance.

With the growing threat of global violence and hatred, organizing a good number of western citizens to step up and have their voices heard could, in my opinion, show people that they have somewhere to express themselves.

Just imagine about 100 people to start off with maybe, a space where topics can be discussed, where you can stand up and voice your opinion, have some moderators, and organize the ideas into some kind of database.

Promote online, and through word of mouth.

But in order for this to work, it would have to really appeal to the average person.
Maybe starting with local issues, and growing from there.

Please let me know what you think, because I am dead serious.
I strongly think organized, fair, collective discussion is something that will let people use the power of the freedoms we have to voice out.
