What’s the invention of the dap have to do with housing prices?
Everybody needs a place to belong. But it's especially challenging to feel at home in the midst of an affordable housing crisis. But just as Black soldiers in the 70s created the dap to build Dignity and Pride while locked out of equal housing opportunity, community organizers today show us how community solidarity can be a first step to making housing attainable.

So, is it possible to be civically engaged outside of formal activities?
Citizen Better will follow KJ Kearney as he finds the ‘informal’ ways to be civically engaged in everyday life so that viewers can feel empowered to make a meaningful impact on the reg rather than just on election days. Like shoes, one size does not fit all, “trying on” various types of informal civic engagement KJ will find what pairs suit him to make a footprint in our democracy.
