"Cultivating Civic Membership" online workshop on September 25th

On Thursday, September 25th from 4 PM to 5:15 PM ET, join The Democracy Policy Network and Connective Tissue for an interactive panel and workshop on cultivating civic “membership.”

This session will draw on the ideas and case studies from our “City Membership” toolkit, and will feature three leaders experimenting with civic membership in their local communities:

• Brian Adoff, Creator of Join Philly and the Philly Activities Fair and Club Directory
• Nathalia Benitez-Perez, Director of Boston’s Office of Civic Organizing and their Block Party Microgrant Program
• Naudy Martinez, Organizer of Falls Church Forward and co-creator of the Falls Church Welcome Kit

During this session, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from Pete Davis and Sam Pressler about their DPN policy kit on civic membership. Then you’ll get to hear about how three different practitioners are putting these ideas into practice in their particular places. The session will conclude with breakout groups, where you can ask questions of the practitioners and workshop and refine your own strategies to cultivate civic membership in your communities.
