In a time when outrage dominates our feeds, doom-scrolling defines our civic engagement—and more people feel disconnected, unheard, or unsure if their voice still matters—

re-invigorating trust, community and democracy begins with something simple: connection.​

​

We start by celebrating what we love:

festivals, block parties, local music,

arts, performers, neighborhood

happy hours.  Through joyful events

and the weekly Best of SF 

‘Karl Awards,’ we start by unifying

and sharing what we love

about the place we call home—

elevating what’s good—along with

the community leaders who make

it better.

​​​

Beneath the fun lives something

powerful:  a simple, structured way

to engage with local democracy.

​​

Community Square modernizes the

civic feedback loop— and rewires the

incentives that shape it.

​​

​Constituents prioritize what matters most.
Civic leaders compete by offering real solutions—earning endorsements, greater visibility, trust, and donations by delivering for the people they serve.​
