CivicLab co-founders Benjamin Sugar and Tom Tresser were at the Personal Democracy Forum on June 6, 2014. We were on a panel on civic labs with Beta NYC and Hack Baltimore. Here is Ben’s introduction to the Lab (3 minutes).
How About A Civic Health Club?
From Denver we get word of a fun project that has its roots in Chicago’s own Hull House – it’s a civic health club!
“If asked about your physical health, emotional health, spiritual health or psychological health, you’d most likely have an answer at the ready, says Denver actor Evan Weissman. Perhaps you’ve recently discovered yoga; you’ve found God, a guru or a therapist. But what if you were asked about your civic health? “That’s harder for most folks to gauge,” Weissman said. There is no bricks-and-mortar place in Denver for people to regularly exercise their civic muscles. Weissman is out to change that by opening Denver’s first Civic health club. “Warm Cookies of the Revolution,” he says, will be a place for daily human connection offering fun and engaging programming for both personal betterment and social change.”
