Policy Starts With You: How Do You Want to Engage?

| From school boards to city councils, statehouses to Congress, government at every level plays a role in shaping our daily lives. Yet many people aren’t sure how to get involved—or whether reaching out to their local or federal representatives can truly make a difference. At this meeting, we’ll explore what civic engagement looks like today, how people are connecting with their communities through government, and how individuals at any level of experience can take meaningful steps to be heard.

We’ll ask questions such as:

• How do you want to make an impact on policy decisions?
• What motivates you—or stops you—from getting involved in local government?
• What level of government is most impactful in your life and why?
• What kind of local issues matter most to you, and how do you want to influence them?
• Do you think civic engagement looks different today than in the past? Why or why not?

This will be a chance to share your views and learn how others across the political spectrum think about community involvement and shaping policy.

Please do your best to arrive at the beginning of the meeting – once we are in breakout rooms and the conversations have started, the meeting doors close to new arrivals. The breakout rooms open (and the doors close) approximately 15 minutes after the hour.
