The summer issue of the National Civic Review turns its attention to the places where democracy is built and tested at the ground level. Authors examine how participatory budgeting, inter-field collaboration, and parenting education strengthen civic infrastructure, even as mid-cycle redistricting and barriers to ballot access threaten to erode it. Together, these articles and essays make the case that democratic resilience isn't just decided in Washington: it's cultivated in communities, classrooms, and even jails.
