Engage |
Engage is a civic participation platform that makes it easier for constituents to offer their feedback on policy issues that local Councils are considering. Engage aims to increase access for community stakeholders who are unable to attend public meetings or may otherwise feel unheard by their local government. |

On Hold |
Everyone should be able to have a voice in their community’s issues, but not everyone has access or is easily able to follow an issue’s details. For example, not everyone has time to attend a city council meeting! |
On Engage, all users can view, read, and comment on agenda items their city council is currently debating. This makes it much easier to participate in discussions on government policies. |
Our platform will make important local conversations much more representative of the actual community, boosting the representation of the most marginalized and underserved members. Being able to hear their perspective will lead to more inclusive, considerate decision-making that will truly benefit all of us rather than just some. |
<strong>16.8:</strong> Broaden and strengthen the awareness and participation of City and local communities, especially those traditionally underserved and marginalized, in the institutions of local and global governance. |
