Citizen Better follows KJ Kearney as he finds the ‘informal’ ways to be civically engaged in everyday life so that viewers can feel empowered to make a meaningful impact on the reg rather than just on election days. Like shoes, one size does not fit all. By “trying on” various types of informal civic engagement, KJ will find what pairs suit him to make a footprint in our democracy.
