Civic Engagement
Captions available
The idea
Civic engagement is participation that connects people to government: voting, contacting officials, attending rallies, following news.
In practice
Writing a member of Congress and voting in a primary are both engagement.
Where people slip
A representative democracy depends on participation — the design assumes voices, not silence.
