The Town Hall Project aims to remove barriers between constituents and elected officials/candidates by planning, organizing, and hosting town hall meetings. Furthermore, the Project will provide Task Force Campus Democracy Coalitions, communities, individuals, and local organizations the knowledge and resources necessary (in the form of educational materials and board-approved micro-grants) to host town halls across the country. In the past, the Task Force helped organize student town halls for high-school students to communicate their concerns with school board officials and the district superintendent. We aim to use this past experience to inform how we deploy the Town Hall Project on a greater scale.

The objective is for town halls to become accessible to organize, enabling constituents to have more face-to-face interactions with officials/candidates, and improve faith in local institutions. The Town Hall Project is being developed in two stages.
