Session 7 of 7
Civic Tools & Real Wins
The tools already sitting on the shelf — petitions, information requests, public participation, budget tracking — and ordinary people, in ordinary places, who used them and changed something.
Readings for this session
Pulled live from the Articles library — this list grows as new articles are published.
Opening
Read one of the tool-branch situations aloud. Ask: has this ever been you?
Discussion
- Which tool has this group actually never used?
- Which one feels most useful for something already happening near us?
- Who would we ask for help using it well?
Closing commitment
The group commits to using one specific tool — together — before the next session.
