Next actions

Not a newsletter. There is nothing to join and no membership card — just a ladder of real things you can do today, each rung landing somewhere real: an existing organization, an open kit, or this project's own consent-first intake. Pick whichever fits the time you actually have.

Returning? The freshest receipts live in the biweekly State of the Election — what changed since last edition, in one place.

New here? Start with sign up for the conversation — thirty seconds, and the rest of this page is what comes after.

I have thirty seconds

Sign.

A name and a way to reach you moves a public number. Nothing else is required.
Send in a vision, a complaint, or a nomination.

"Toronto in 2030 should ___," what's broken on your street, or a neighbour who deserves recognition. The online form is live — three lines, one minute. Every kit's paper harvest sheet works too.
Ask for the October hours.

Book a few hours off between October 7 and 26, while it's still easy to get on the calendar — then tell one co-worker why. Run a workplace, union, school, or congregation? The same page has a policy any of them can adopt this month.

I have twenty minutes

Join a channel — ours or anyone's.

The build-night workshop lives inside Civic Tech Toronto's own Slack — no new server, no new app, borrow-don't-build. Any Discord, WhatsApp, or Signal room you're already in counts too.
Offer your hands, or tithe a skill.

Volunteer time, or "I'm a [trade]. I'll give two hours to ___." Wherever an existing organization already does that work, this routes you to their door first — the registration means nobody falls through the cracks in between.
Make an expert submission.

Medicine, law, planning, trades, finance, settlement — anything the library touches. Tell us your field; it feeds the fact-checking and review work.

I have a room

Start or join a block circle.

Ten households, a doorstep card, a first meeting that submits the block's own complaints and visions.
Host one of the open kits.

A vision dinner, an after-service three questions, a story-collection evening, a complaint clinic, and more — free, printable, and yours to run in your own name.

I have an organization

Sign up your organization, or join one already pinned.

Coming — the tribe/organization map is designed but not yet built. Nothing here fakes readiness in the meantime; check back, or write in via the join form's Organization field.

I have time on my hands

Build with us.

Research, corrections at depth, translations, code for the open tools — the commons repository is open and forkable on GitHub. Prefer to just flag an offer? Tick “tech & building” on the join form.
Wear your tribe.

Coming — custom merch, at a disclosed margin, nobody selling it for profit. Not built yet.

The top rung

Run for office.

Nominations close August 21, 2026, 2:00 p.m. Several wards have one to three candidates. The seat may be genuinely empty.

This is the live short list — what moves the project right now. The standing ladder, from thirty seconds to a year, lives at Act.
