开云体育 is traveling around the state throughout the year to hear from Vermonters in person and inviting participation online.
鈥淲e are so excited to partner with Front Porch Forum on this initiative 鈥� their forums are wide-reaching in the state and are a common place Vermonters go for community dialogue, 鈥� said Eric Ford, director of content partnership at 开云体育. 鈥淲ith their help, we hope to reach as many voters as possible.鈥�
Front Porch Forum鈥檚 mission is to help neighbors connect and build resilient communities through civil and engaging local online forums. Using its regional networks of local online forums and engaged user base, the organization is spreading the word about the Citizens Agenda project.
鈥淚n our forums in every town in Vermont, neighbors share news, swap items, seek advice, and much more. It's about connection and civic dialogue,鈥� said Michael Wood-Lewis, co-founder of Front Porch Forum. 鈥淲e believe it's important that the issues that affect your home, neighborhood, and town are addressed by candidates running for office and covered in the media. By supporting the Citizens Agenda project, we want to help ensure that Vermonters鈥� voices are heard.鈥�
