We’re building a growing circle of neighbors who learn, talk, and take action together — starting with simple, low-key gatherings right here in Santa Fe.

Host a small chat, join a local meet-up, or just grab our easy guides to start your own convo. It’s fun, it’s important, & it all starts with you.

Looking to get connected?

Attend a local event: Find a pop-up workshop, picnic, or skill share near you.

Host your own: We’ll give you everything you need — from talking points to printables.

Volunteer: Help spread the word, design graphics, or set up for an event.

Find Your Why

You can make a difference. Your participation can make your life and your neighborhood better (trash pickup, parks, schools, housing affordability).

You can build your knowledge, skills, and power by learning how local decisions affect rent, streets, traffic, safety. Build leadership skills, public speaking, and organizing skills.

Meet and grow relationships with your neighbors. This builds social capital (networking for jobs, childcare swaps, local resources) and makes stronger, safer communities. We all thrive when we belong.

This is easy. We're keeping it short and simple with — “5 minutes to learn, 5 minutes to share.” Join how you can and where you can.

Nothing is inevitable. Believe in what we can build together.

We start with foundational workshops: Small, friendly gatherings (in homes, community centers, parks, cafes) that break down how voting works, what’s on the ballot, and why local decisions matter.

Each participant becomes a messenger: They get resources, talking points, and invitations to host their own conversations — whether it’s at a dinner table, on a walk, or in a WhatsApp group.

We train local trainers: Volunteers can take short facilitator trainings so they’re ready to lead sessions themselves — with toolkits, slides, and bilingual materials to make it easy.

It multiplies naturally: Each new host brings in their friends, who may then host their own gatherings. The network grows by relationship and trust, not just by ads or cold calls.

We support & celebrate: We track milestones (like new voters registered, first-time voters, or new trainers recruited), send out thank yous, hold appreciation events, and keep the momentum joyful.

Why it works:

• People trust who they know. Small, familiar spaces are powerful places to start.

• Local change ripples outward. Engaged neighborhoods lead to engaged cities.

• Everyone can take part. Whether you have a backyard, a balcony, or a sidewalk out front —

  this is for you

How we do it:

• Host micro-meetups, porch talks, sidewalk pop-ups, & chalk campaigns.

• Share simple toolkits so anyone can start conversations & projects.

• Celebrate local leaders with digital badges & spotlights.

• Move from talk to collective action, step by step.

A civic culture where democracy truly lives in the places we live — and everyone feels they belong.
