In the seventh article of the newsletter, the authors talk about the collaboration between Kettering and the&#160;Antonio N&#250;&#241;ez Jim&#233;nez Foundation, on&#160;how each organization worked with communities in the US and Cuba, respectively, on addressing important issues that impact both areas.

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s Next, Alabama? is an issue guide created by the David Mathews Center for Civic Life in 2017 for Alabama Issues Forums 2017 &#8211; 2020. The issue guide provides a brief overview of economic issues facing Alabama and outlines three approaches in addressing economic infrastructure over the course of three forums. The David Mathews Center&#8212;a non-profit, non-partisan, non-advocacy organization&#8212;does not advocate a particular approach or solution to economic issues, but rather seeks to provide a framework for citizens to carefully examine multiple approaches, weigh costs [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/rc/item/11885">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 40-page discussion guide, Shaping Our Towns and Cities, was published by the Interactivity Foundation in 2014 and edited by Jeff Prudhomme. &#160;The guide offers seven contrasting public policies to consider when shaping our towns and cities. These policies are broad approaches on how to design our communities; and while not exhaustive, these are mean to provide a starting point for creating public policy that supports thriving communities. You can view the discussion guide in full on IF&#8217;s site and it can also be downloaded [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/rc/item/11595">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The article, It&#8217;s Your Money. Where&#8217;s Your Say? written by Larry Schooler was&#160;published February 2016 on Huffpost Politics blog. Schooler discusses the juxtaposition of some governments relationship with the public- some increasing transparency and public engagement experiences, while&#160;others are quick to restrict public&#8217;s access to information and public control of the state&#8217;s budget. The article tips hat to the use of Balancing Act [from Engaged Public] in San Antonio (TX), and the steady increase in participatory budgeting processes around the US.
