FCDC Committees & Issue Groups

Chairwoman, Kim Gibson -

BeEngaged.Fauquier@gmail.com

Communities are stronger and healthier when their members, from diverse backgrounds and from differing points of view, participate in the decision and policy-making that shape their towns, counties, and state. The intent of this work group is to research and establish opportunities and forums to promote civic education, discussions and events to empower community advocacy and accelerate change. In this current atmosphere of extreme polarization, engagement and understanding is more important than ever. We, as Democrats, support creating a non-partisan conduit to serve this purpose.
