Many of us here have strong opinions on how the City could be a better place.
We're not alone! (Is that the X-Files theme music I hear?)
Seriously, one thing this city has in abundance is activists. Of all descriptions, on all subjects.
I think its useful for those interested in different aspects of our public realm/culture to know what other with the same interests think....
And, as our time, finances, engergies permit...to read their blogs, join their groups, volunteer, donate or take their cue by writing or emailing our politicos or business leaders on issues of the day.
To that end, below are some links I suggest, to websites and/or facebook groups (i have to, its the age) .....
