Anya explaining The Civic Edit ▶
Why it exists

Civic life belongs to the next generation, too.

I started The Civic Edit because I couldn't actually explain how my own community worked. I could name maybe one or two local leaders — so I started asking to interview them, and almost everyone said yes.

Most teenagers never get to have those conversations. This is my attempt to change that: to introduce my generation to the people who shape the places we live, and to show that we can help shape them too.
