Making Democracy Work in Fargo
with Arlette Preston

​

Listen to a Recording of this Service HERE

Democracy does not work if citizens are not engaged. We are currently discovering that. The foundation for citizen engagement is in their neighborhoods, their communities, their cities. It’s also the place that is easiest to become engaged – however, structural obstacles exist which make it more difficult to be engaged.

An effort is underway for the City of Fargo governance structure to change from the current Commission form with at-large election of Commissioners to a Council form with ward representation. Arlette will present how that impacts citizen engagement and how the process of changing it works.

Arlette Preston holds a Master’s in Community Health Nursing from Texas Woman’s University, Dallas. She worked for a health system in Fargo for 21 years before starting her own business providing services for seniors in their homes. Arlette served on the Fargo City Commission from 1992-2000. She again served on the Fargo City Commission 2020-2024.

She and her husband are retired and live with their two dogs in Fargo. Their daughter lives in San Antonio, TX.

Goodness, Humanity, And All That
with Leah DeHaan

​

Listen to a Recording of this Service HERE

On Sunday, November 9th, we will be joined by NDSU History student and FMUU Board of Directors member, Leah DeHaan.

From Leah:

When I was 18 and in my last semester of high school, I wrote a paper. This paper was an argumentative one based around the idea of innate good and innate evil. I believed that humans were good. I wrote it at my kitchen table, and every day my dad would ask me if I had changed my mind yet. Three years later and he's still asking me. The question has changed somewhat. It's no longer "have you changed your mind?" Now, it's "after everything how do you still believe this?" That is the question I seek to answer today.
