Local Civic Engagement for a Broad Impact

Our democracy is in crisis. But we also are in the midst of a powerful new moment of civic engagement, grassroots activism, and with possibilities for bold new approaches to democracy.

We have a playbook right in front of us, in the experiments to build civic engagement and revive democracy taking place in New York City. Join senior leaders from New York’s democracy reform and civil society community in dialogue with Hollie Russon Gilman and Sabeel Rahman; authors of the new book Civic Power: Rebuilding American Democracy in an Era of Democratic Crisis as they discuss how to participate in tangible local engagement to lead to larger impact for enhancing democracy.
