San Antonio City Hall
Ryan Loyd

Civic engagement, there are many ways for residents to plug into their local government.

There's voting - the last mayoral election had a whopping 14 percent turnout.

But there's also volunteering - and showing up for meetings and getting informed.

It can be a lot of work to be engaged in the business of your community.But if you don't do it - what happens - do you get the leaders and the policies you want?

Are you engaged - do you feel like you don't have a voice in the city government?

 
Guests:

  • Ron Nirenberg - district 8 city council member - formerly at the Annenbert Public Policy Center
  • Larry Schooler - mediator - facilitator and public engagement consultant.
