Getting Intimate: A Participatory + Proximate Civic Future

With New Civic Future, join us for our first of two Civic Power Hours, where we’ll “get intimate” and explore the importance of participatory and proximate approaches in civic life.

The session will begin with rapid pitches from three practitioners and signatories of the “Invitation to a new civic future” letter, including:

• Naudy Martinez of Falls Church Forward
• Liz Joyner of The Village Square
• Evan Weissman of Warm Cookies of the Revolution

It’ll then be followed by interactive breakout groups where participants will have the chance to connect with one another, deepen their engagement around the principles of participation and proximity, and ask, “How can we support one another to do this work better?” Whether you’re newly energized to renewing civic life in your community, or have been doing the work for decades, we invite you to be a part of this session.
