Atlanta has always been a city shaped by innovation, activism, and resilience. From its beginning role in the Civil Rights Movement to its position today as the origin for culture and business, the city continues to grow and change. The Center for Civic Innovation (CCI) leads this progress by supporting leaders, entrepreneurs, and community members who are working to address Atlanta’s most pressing challenges.
Watch From Afar and Help Close By
The Center for Civic Innovation (CCI) in Atlanta has a YouTube channel labeled “Civic Atlanta” with videos to show community engagement and highlight stories of local leaders managing community projects. The CCI makes civic innovation more accessible on social platforms to amplify the voices of people creating change and gives opportunities for many who may not attend in-person events to still get involved in the efforts to build stronger communities.
The Center for Civic Innovation’s “Good Trouble” is a program that recognizes community leaders who challenge systems of injustice and motivates Atlanta residents to participate in these civil duties of positive change. Congressman John Lewis famously encouraged people to get into “good trouble” by standing up for justice and equality. Whether it is by voting or organizing, this inspiration serves as a call to action to celebrate and to continue connecting to grow for future generations.

We can acknowledge that real change will happen when the residents of Atlanta have a voice in shaping the policies and programs that affect their everyday lives. The future of Atlanta depends on how well the city addresses these decisions, but also how well you know what is happening. The CCI offers insights and a calendar on the issues that are happening in the city such as affordable housing, food security, and city hall outcomes in their resources. When you are taking these steps of looking ahead, you can be ahead on being prepared as well.
Atlanta’s next chapter will be changed by the people who call it home. The Center for Civic Innovation is one of many organizations leading the way to build Atlanta as the city of the future for community – driven prosperity.

I decided to update my blog post more vividly to highlight the diversity and positive visuals of what the Center of Civic Innovation represents. I turned the background text of the introduction and conclusion paragraph opaque to center the importance. I supported this by highlight the cited photo links pink and the title of the paragraphs black with yellow font. I felt like this would help the reader know and signify the difference on what is being discussed next. I wanted to show more visuals by adding a black and white portrait of congressman John Lewis to show how the fight for equality represented seriousness, but also serious actions to spread the influence of “Good Trouble”. As someone who is part of festival the community, I wanted to show how big and diverse this impact could be towards the cause as well – by using the photo. I finished off the blog post with a photo of the Center of Civic innovation logo.
