WATCH: Voice of the People and Maryland Matters host forum on substance use disorder and treatment policies
Voice of the People is co-hosting a public consultation forum with Maryland Matters to discuss substance use issues based on a survey given to a representative sample of 747 residents of Maryland’s 6th District. The forum is focused on the substance use disorder crisis and policies in Congress to address it.
The livestream will begin around 3:30 p.m.
This unique public policy experiment, created by the University of Maryland’s Program for Public Consultation, seeks to put the average American in the decision-making shoes of their congressional representatives — and sow common ground and build public policy polling at the same time.
