What's a Citizen Assembly?
Sign upA Citizen Assembly is a way for everyday people to influence local laws. As a Millcreek resident, you have the opportunity to make history as this will be one of the first Citizen Assemblies in the U.S.!
First the city will mail out invitations to residents with all the details.
Out of everyone who responds, we will randomly select people, like in a lottery, to create a mini-snapshot of the community
The people chosen will represent every slice of our community, from age and income to political affiliation, ensuring everyone’s voice gets heard. Plus we will gather input from the broader community for the Assembly members to consider.
Once the assembly members are chosen, they will:
- Learn about the issue
- Discuss the issue
- Make recommendations
Mayor Jackson and the City Council will formally consider the recommendations and respond, maybe even making them into law!
THE FORM BELOW IS FOR LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE ASSEMBLY, VOLUNTEERING AND STAYING IN THE LOOP WITH UPDATES. INVITATIONS TO PARTICIPATE AS A DELEGATE WILL BE SENT OUT SEPARATELY.

Action Alert
Help Preserve, Protect, and Defend Democracy
The violent attack on our Capitol and fellow Americans that occurred on Wednesday, January 6 is over, but the cracks in our democracy it starkly illuminated are not repaired and represent a grave threat to the American people. Therefore, I am taking the #DemocracyPledge in support of the American experiment today and for future generations.To preserve, protect and defend our constitutional democracy requires accountability for our leaders and courageous action in our own lives. Together, we can achieve a more perfect union—freedom, justice, equity, and opportunity for all.
I call on my elected, business and community leaders to add their names to mine in this pledge to:
-
Denounce unsubstantiated claims of election fraud and promote the peaceful transfer of power with a public statement affirming the duly litigated, confirmed, and certified results.
-
Demand justice for those who violently assaulted the temple of our democracy and the system on which it rests, as well as those complicit in their unlawful actions.
- Do my part to reunite and heal America by affirming the dignity of all people and engaging across differences with curiosity and grace.
