Connecting California

This fall, the Center is sponsoring a series of "Connecting California" evening public events with Zócalo Public Square and the New America Foundation. We hope you can join us for these exciting public events. 

On Wednesday, September 21, in San Francisco,  we'll be discussing "How Do We Put the People Back in the Initiative Process" with a panel of experts from California and around the world.

On Wednesday, October 26, at Stanford, we will release and discuss a new report "Hear Us Now?" which surveys how California governments use technology and proposes ways of measuring and replicating the success of their e-government initiatives.

Earlier this summer, the Center co-sponsored a "deliberative poll" that brought more than 400 Californians together for a weekend to map out thoughtfully a path forward for the state. The event was filmed by PBS for a documentary, "California State of  Mind" airing on public television stations statewide this fall.
