So, I did a thing … a thing I’m calling “Momentum Minutes,” and that I believe will Shift the way we Show Up in our communities, in the eyes of our elected officials, society, the law-making process and help us build futures we can be proud of and protected in. Later this afternoon, I will share the first official video of the informational series. But want to see if you are open to being more civically engaged — together!
Why Now? Why #MomentumMinutes?
This was birthed in my spirit a few months ago as an extension of my calling to be a #GovGirl and a creative connector. Who am I connecting? The people to their leaders and the issues that matter most to them!
For the five years that I’ve worked in #LocalGovernment, I’ve seen elected officials do some pretty uplifting and transformational things in their communities. But always thought how much greater of an impact they would have if they heard from us — the #culture, and my friends with ideas, dreams and influence — and if we were at the table.
So, here it is! Here’s my contribution to our Democracy and the need to create safe places for a reflective and engaged electorate to feel important — to know our voices are heard.
I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m inspired. I’m hopeful. I’m a Believer in the Power of #CivicEngagement!
