Why Bother with Civics?

Send us Fan MailWelcome to The Citizen’s Playbook, an 18-part audio journey created to transform civics from a passive subject into an active tool. This series is a user manual for ourdemocracy, specifically tailored for the citizens of Georgia. We believe that understanding the rules of the game is the first and most critical step toward making a meaningful impact. It’s the difference between feeling frustrated by a problem and feeling empowered to help solve it.This episode's goal is to establish civics not as a historical subject, but as an essential, empowering user manual for modern life in Georgia.Our featured guest for Episode One is Michele NeSmith, Research and Policy Development Director at the ACCG Civic Affairs Foundation.Each episode in this series will end with a specific call to action. Your first assignment: Visit the official state website, Georgia.gov. On that site, you can find a tool to look up your elected officials. We want you to find just two: your State Representative and your County Commissioner. You don't have to call them or write to them yet. Just learn their names.🎙️ Citizen's Playbook is produced by Henry Chamber Media, bringing you conversations that connect business, community, and leadership throughout Henry County.
