Civity is thrilled to partner with the American Conversation Project (ACP) — a nonpartisan national civic listening initiative led by the National Conference on Citizenship, in partnership with Cortico and a growing coalition of civic, cultural, education, faith, and media organizations. ACP’s purpose is to bring people together in communities across the country for small in-person conversations that strengthen the bonds that hold us together … civity!
Catalyzed by the 250th anniversary of the United States, ACP offers a supportive and do-able framework for bringing people together in small groups to share stories, listen deeply, and think together about issues that matter to them. In addition, the Cortico platform allows participating organizations to surface what comes out of these conversations to tell a larger story.
ACP is a great way to build civity in your neighborhood. If pulling together 4-6 people and engaging them in conversation about what’s important – and bringing your community to the national mix – sounds like something you’d like to explore, let’s talk! Palma and I are happy to answer questions or help brainstorm! Register to attend a Civity-ACP “office hour” on September 29 or October 8.
