The Winter edition of the National Civic Review explores the dynamic intersection of civic engagement, democracy, and community well-being. This issue highlights how collaboration and citizen-led initiatives are reshaping public safety and addressing homelessness through innovative, local solutions that engage diverse stakeholders. We also spotlight the growing movement of participatory governance, where citizens are stepping in to tackle pressing issues that have long been neglected or inadequately addressed by traditional channels.
Finally, we examine the critical role of democratic practices in fostering human flourishing and how creativity—often seen as a ‘nice-to-have’—is actually fundamental to shaping the world we want to create.
