Happy Holiday to all citizens of Bridgeport.

It’s 12-24-2025. Offices have closed already and business activities will soon follow as many celebrate Christmas. Holidays with food, gift exchanges, and friendly greetings please all. Peace can reign again, perhaps.

 

But it is a better bet when we learn (or re-learn) what good conversations with neighbors as well as with those folks we do not yet know can accomplish. When we listen
attentively, we can learn and add to our personal store of knowledge and experience. We learn more about citizen rights as well as about duty, responsibility, and obligations.

 

We welcome you to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America during 2026, locally, by participating in CASUAL CIVICS CONVERSATIONS at safe neighborhood locations in the City. Please join with us as often as your busy schedule allows.

 

You are welcome to our table’s empty chairs!!

Welcome to 
CASUAL
CIVICS CONVERSATIONS

Maybe you followed the QR code, or obtained a CCC pamphlet, but the best way we can bridge the absence of good civics practices in the community is for you to participate and encourage others to accompany you. At this time, we are extending sites, days, and times for CCC gatherings throughout the ten City districts. We have invited commitments from hosts who operate and maintain commercial locations or other physical places to inquire about sharing regular hospitality within your space monthly for about an hour. Offering a welcoming location to our host list encourages democratic practices within the City.

The City Charter questions on the ballot were approved but discussions of those changes would be timely in the months ahead. Civic engagement of other neighbors becomes possible as well to comprehend the needs, issues or concerns that are present. Conversations are helpful to understand the viewpoints of other citizens, whether they have voted or not. That is another discussion for another day: how to engage with citizens more regularly such that the 90% of registered voters feel a call to become more informed about one or more City issues and prepare for future elections.

Time will tell.
