Name of Project:

CivicMen: Reclaiming Presence, Power & Community

Project Description:

CivicMen is a documentary initiative exploring why men are missing from civic spaces, and what changes when we show up. Through real stories, lived experience, and community-based insights, this project reframes civic engagement as presence, accountability, and collective leadership. This work will serve as the foundation for a new civic organization and movement dedicated to mobilizing men into community leadership and meaningful civic action.
