		<description><![CDATA[The 28-page paper,&#160;21st Century Civic Infrastructure: Under Construction,&#160;written by Jill Blair and Malka Kopell was commissioned by The Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions and published in spring 2015. The paper offers 3 keystones for building an effective and more equitable civic infrastructure: engaging all sectors; enlisting all voices; and creating vertical and horizontal thoroughfares for the exchange of information and practice. Below is an excerpt of the paper, which can be found in full on The Aspen Institute&#8217;s FCS&#8217;s site here.

Many well-organized deliberative spaces exist in the US and also, is still small activity compared to the energy used to purposely manipulate public opinion. Levine talks about how civic society has changed from organizing people en masse via churches, unions, and political parties; to a new civic society, where fewer people are organized in these traditional groups and even fewer funders are willing [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/rc/item/11144">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
