Believing in Us: The Case for Showing Up in Local Democracy
Join us for our next Learning Over Lunch webinar! What does it look like to believe in your neighbors, your city, and your own power to shape your community? Nellie Catzen, Executive Director of the Committee for a Better New Orleans, shares why showing up for local democracy still matters. Local government is where decisions about our budgets, streets, schools, and safety actually get made, yet the distance between communities and City Hall can feel enormous. Nellie brings years of experience convening residents and leaders, and demystifying how power works in New Orleans. Whether you're deeply involved in civic life or wondering where to start, you'll leave with a clearer sense of why your presence matters.
