Volunteers to man petition table at POCO festival as organizers seek signatures
Summary
Community Lens will staff a petition table at the POCO festival to gather signatures for a charter revision commission; the host and guest said in the interview they hope to reach many residents in person because online channels miss some audiences.
The Community Lens host announced that volunteers will staff a petition table at the POCO festival and urged residents of North Branford to stop by, ask questions and sign. "We, the citizens, now have a table, so we will be there all weekend," the host said.
Guest Marco Weiss said meeting people in person is important because online channels fragment attention: "Town happenings is probably not on top of people's list, unfortunately," he said. Organizers said they aim to reach people across age groups, including those who do not use social media or who missed earlier notices about the charter effort.
The hosts said they hope the festival outreach can yield significant signatures and said volunteers will be present Friday and Sunday; they encouraged residents to visit the table for information about the charter revision process.
