Introducing PublicStuff!
We are so excited to be a part of the NetSquared community. It’s refreshing to have a online venue that supports and encourages socially conscious ideas. We are one of the 15 groups that will be presenting at the N2Y4 conference next week, and we wanted to take a moment to introduce our initiative on the blog along with outlining how you can help support our cause!Â

Civic Footprint civic participation tool
Supporting organization:
Center for Neighborhood Technology
URL:
www.civicfootprint.org
Location:
Cook County, Illinois
Project Description:
The Civic Footprint is a website dedicated to helping residents of Cook County, Illinois determine the political and civic geographies associated with where they live. These geographies include:
• Wards
• Police Districts
• Community Areas
• Judicial Subcircuits
• County Districts
• State Representative Districts
• State Senate Districts
• Congressional Districts
A user just types in his/her address and a form returns to him/her their unique “Footprint.� The tool is designed to help residents get more engaged in their community and to better understand the different jurisdictions in which they might get involved. Healthy, sustainable communities, after all, are dependent upon active citizens who help make democratic institutions work.
The Civic Footprint civic participation tool is a project of the Center for Neighborhood Technology (www.cnt.org).
