This Civic Saturday was a ”chance for folks to come together after the election to refresh, renew, find some common ground, and discuss how we can make the world a better place, starting locally,” said Michael Cooper, Civic Saturday Fellow. Following the 2024 General Election, Michael partnered with local community leaders to host Civic Saturday in The Triangle. Bringing together over 70 people in Raleigh, N.C, community members, a panelist of elected officials, and several organizations gathered to discuss how they can improve civic life in their neighborhoods. Citizen Redefined partner Leslie Garvin also presented the 2024 Civic Health Index and fortifying civic culture. She reflected, “Today was another pathway toward restoring civic hope, love, and joy in our state."
