This toolkit is created by S.A.F.E. to support community members—especially people of color, marginalized groups, and those historically excluded from decision making—in understanding how local government works and how to engage safely, effectively, and collectively.

This toolkit supports youth—especially youth of color, disabled youth, LGBTQ+ youth, and those historically excluded from decision-making—in understanding civic systems and engaging them safely and confidently.

This page is designed to make local government more accessible, transparent, and navigable for everyone — especially those who may not have been taught how to engage or who have felt unheard or unsafe doing so.
