- Special Update: BeNeighbors.org Outreach Campaign Press Material
These online neighbor-to-neighbor forums connect you to real-world community across, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and anywhere volunteers lead the way
Hosted on the trusted non-profit E-Democracy.org site, we use real names to build trust and promote useful, civil exchange. Every forum has a local volunteer leader.
Participate via e-mail or the web. Your choice. Join easily via Facebook if you like.
* BeNeighbors.org is our inclusive community outreach campaign to connect neighbors online. It will be an "open" directory of online neighborhood spaces first in the Twin Cities and then beyond.

Our neighbors forums foster "community life exchange" with local civic issues included. Our city-wide forums give you a focused place to raise public voices in local democracy.
Our largest forums in Standish-Ericsson, Powderhorn, and Seward have attracted about 20% of households in their area with some approaching 900 members. Hamline-Midway in St. Paul is a great example of a strongly new forum launch.
Building off previous inclusion efforts, in 2012 we are launching a new grant-funded inclusion campaign to grow our St. Paul forums with the greatest diversity possible to over 10,000 members in three years. Fundraising to include Minneapolis and other communities is planned.
