Initiatives like convening a participatory process and calling a neighborhood council are essential tools for fostering civic engagement and empowering residents to influence decision-making within their communities. Convening a participatory process involves organizing collaborative sessions where citizens can come together to discuss pressing issues, propose solutions, and prioritize initiatives that reflect the collective needs of the community. Similarly, calling a neighborhood council encourages local residents to form a governing body that addresses specific neighborhood concerns, enhancing communication and collaboration among community members. These initiatives promote transparency, inclusivity, and collective responsibility, allowing residents to actively participate in shaping policies and programs that directly impact their lives.

To get involved, create an initiative, vote on existing ones and support them to help drive meaningful change in your community.
