Ever thought: where do my elected officials come from? They seem so out of touch! Why aren't they more accountable to people like me?

YOU can make a difference! 

Many elected officials start at the local level -- in elections for school board, city council and mayor. Participation is stunningly low: 15% or fewer voters participate across 30 major US cities. 

When voter turnout is low, the voices of the few (including moneyed interests) drown out the many and accountability disappears.
