In San Diego, @inewsource is teaming up with @KPBS and @voiceofsandiego on Public Matters, a program that will spend the next 3 years pursuing reporting and events that will:.⭐ soften polarization.⭐ examine the democratic process beyond just voting.

Participants also made major investments in their ability to cover democracy long term. California's @modbee hired a civics and democracy reporter through @mcclatchy's Local News Fellowship program. 🎉.

#USDemocracyDay participants also like to keep things fun: The Austin Common is sneaking Texas civics questions into bar trivia nights, while @NowKalamazoo is hosting field trips to town halls with snacks, note-passing, and tips on giving public comment.

And in @dailyyonder, an accidental campaign volunteered extolled the importance of listening — and not drawing conclusions about why people aren't engaged.

There were also compelling personal narratives: @Salon published this essay from a Georgia poll worker on how on the state's new rules are more or less a decree that accuses overworked poll workers of malfeasance.

Also on the theme of incarceration: @media_outlier asked formerly incarcerated individuals about how they're navigating a polarized election that pits a former prosecutor against a convicted felon.
