Is it possible to be civically engaged outside of formal activities?
Citizen Better follows community organizer 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

Hold on.
I'm not talking about waving flags and eagles soaring overhead.
(eagle squawks) I mean when you think about the place that you live and the people that surround you, where do you fit in?
What role do you play in your community and how do you do that well?
I'm KJ Kearney, writer, foodie, and creator of the James Beard nominated Black Food Fridays.
Together, we're going to explore how being a good citizen can be a lot more enjoyable than you might think.
I mean, 'cause we all care about something.
For me, it's food.
For you, it might be art or music or sports.
But hidden inside those hobbies, those passions, those relationships you already love, are the skills to be civically engaged.
Join me on a journey to discover how eating at local restaurants powered the civil rights movement, how online pop music fandoms are fighting for disability justice, how the future of community safety is created on the dance floor.
Let's find out how our favorite communities, from pit masters to sneakerheads, are using their skills to citizen better.
