In one word? Leadership. But in a few more words, voters who care. Now, any and all eligible voters seem to be able to be drawn into comment on any one of a number of topics. But then if you ask them to take action beyond that input, you have fewer who step up. Then, when it has to do with becoming the one who might be in that local elected body of government so that you have believers in there who prioritize the public voice, you have an even smaller set of people. My belief is that the more comfortable we make the settings in which non-elected members of a community can engage with each other and organize around issues, virtually or in real-time, the more accustomed they then will become to wanting to go past the talk and desire to take action. Simultaneously with that will be an examination of whether they can trust the decision makers to hear what they (that public) has to say about any one issue. And if the decision makers are choosing to ignore? Then the folks in the public, in my opinion, need to realize that they are indeed the ones they're looking for. We will only see a change in leadership if we actually...change our leaders. And we know that we can do that.
