Moving beyond resistance to actions that build trust are critical for bringing communities together and inspiring people to vote for candidates who will act in their interest. Anthony Flaccavento, Rural Urban Bridge Initiative describes the steps at our Citizens Connect meeting in Chestertown, MD.

Thanks to all who came out to our event with Anthony Flaccavento from RUBI. He provided a very thought-provoking look at why progressive and moderate candidates are losing votes from rural and working class voters. We’d love to hear your feedback here.

What are the root causes of polarization between rural and urban communities? What can be done to encourage conversations and find common ground? Please join us for the next meeting of Citizens Connect on September 15th, 5-7PM in Chestertown MD.

Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge needs your support. Some things you can do soon will help sustain the refuge for future generations.

Thanks to everyone (75 people!)who came out to our first Citizens Connect meeting. We learned why Eastern Neck is so important for Kent County’s economy, recreation, and environment. Farmers, hunters, fisherman, tourists, and nature lovers cherish this beautiful resource. Fed cuts could close it!

Citizens Connect will hold its first public meeting on the importance of Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge and threats to its survival due to recent Federal budget cuts. Monday, August 18th, 5pm in Chestertown, MD.
