Insights from a year of fortifying civic catalysts
shared civic purpose
“Unity is not uniformity. Shared civic purpose is the understanding that we see in each other a great deal of power individually and when we come together collectively in community, we can engage that power. We can celebrate the gifts and resources we have here, recognizing the gifts and resources that exist in each of us, in our neighbors, in our neighborhoods. We can see that, sometimes for the first time, because we don’t always know who our neighbors are. Do y’all know your neighbors?”
