Hi John,
If you’ve ever felt like City Hall is impossible to understand, you’re not alone.
Join Sonja Trauss, Executive Director of YIMBY Law, and Michael Adams, founder of CivLab, for a live demo and conversation on how AI can help us see how government really works — and how that understanding can make all of us more effective at building the cities we need.
CivLab’s Gov Graph uses AI to map how power and influence move through city government. It’s a new kind of civic transparency that can empower more people to act on housing, democracy, and community change.
What you’ll learn:
- How AI can help decode complex government systems
- Why understanding power is the first step to shaping better housing policy
- What’s next for CivLab as it expands beyond San Francisco
This is a great way to get to know the YIMBY movement and see how smart and practical advocacy starts with understanding the system.
