2012 Community Matters Campaign

What is the Community Matters Campaign?
CityClub's Community Matters Campaign celebrates different aspects of civic participation and culminates in citizen recommendations for public policy development. The campaign promotes community deliberation, organizational collaboration and individual action across a full spectrum of civic activity focused on a central theme. This year's campaign, "Civil Civics," examines civility in political discourse. Take the "Civil Civics" poll and let us know what you think. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event soon!
