Your Move: Civic Action
Here’s a few things YOU can do to build a thriving City.
Vote.
You have power! Voting is the fundamental step to being an active citizen— by choosing who represents you. Check your registration and make sure you vote in every election.
2. Get to know your reps
The people we vote into office work for us. Get to know the people who represent you and make sure they know what you care about.
3.Take advantage of City resources
Your tax dollars pay for public resources like libraries, recreation centers, recycling pick up, public parks and streets, right to counsel for eviction defense and more. Take advantage of all the City has to offer.
4. Join your neighborhood association
Neighborhoods are a foundational to civic engagement, and neighborhood associations are recognized by City law as a first stop for community engagement on land use decisions, new development in your community, road work, and more. They’re also a great away to meet your neighbors. Strong communities are the foundation to a thriving city!
5. Engage with Utilities
Your utilities (including electric, gas, and water) are regulated by City Council! You can contact them if you think the companies behind those utilities need to be reined in with better policies. You can also connect with your utilities directly here.
