I see comments about how approachable it is... Just go to the meetings, etc.
Unfortunately digital participation is still not a big thing yet.
I'd love to attend meetings in Redwood City where i live but many start at 6 during the week (think there may even have been some as early as 5 or 5:30).
I don't typically leave the office till 6 or a bit after that, and then I get home to things like needing to eat dinner and other family obligations.
If they truly wanted higher participation among younger and less wealthy demographics they would have these meetings on the weekend where people can have a much greater chance of avoiding conflicts with work and other basic life needs during the work week.
Or make digital participation in these sessions a priority.
- talmand 10y agoMany local political events such as voting, council meetings, townhall meetings, school district meetings, etc. are usually scheduled to allow for the desired audience of the event holders. If such meetings are scheduled at times that younger, working adults cannot attend, it's because they don't want you there.
