Engaged Nation
Like so many of you I have found myself jaded and weary at
the thought of having to engage in another political battle. I found myself pondering the weight build up
to Election 2024 and decided to chronicle the recent events to gain further
clarity.
How did we get here?
What have we endured in recent times? How does all fit together? These are some the many questions I pondered.
Importance of Civic Engagement
Civic engagement is the lifeblood of a functioning
democracy. It empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and ensures that
the government remains accountable and responsive to the people it
serves.
Every small action contributes to the larger goal of a
vibrant and responsive democracy.
Practical ways to get involved in your community and
contribute to civic engagement are: Voting, Volunteering, Advocating and Campaigning,
Run for Office, Attend Public Meeting, and continuous Civic Education.
