"Community leaders understand better than anyone the needs and challenges confronting their communities. However, running for office can be overwhelming without appropriate funds, resources, experience, knowledge, and powerful connections. This nonpartisan program dismantles those ostensible obstacles by giving participants the tools they need to run inspiring, community-centered, grassroots campaigns without compromising their values. This program can transform not only our local political culture but our entire system and civic ecosystem."
