We Belong Here
Being connected to others is critical to our well-being. When we belong, we feel like we are a part of our communities, that we matter, and that people care about us.
To see each other as fully human is an inherent value to belonging. We Belong Here seeks to bridge across differences with empathy and the realization that we are more alike than we are different. It will not be easy, and we may stumble, but we know that a community for all is better than a community for some.
Relationships are foundational to the work of Civic Commons, and these connections start with belonging. Without belonging, it is impossible to build the civic muscle that’s necessary to address our region’s biggest challenges and inequities.
