We are a group of community members across Texas who aim to listen to the voice of the community and express its interest. Our goal is to help through listening, learning, sharing educational resources, and providing the community a “public square” to meet and grow together. We are not Democrats or Republicans; we are the community. We are people who want to find common ground on things that matter to make our community stronger and safer.
We are building our future together.
Politicians and government leaders are divided like no other time. Trust is waning and the media is a continual soap box of plagues in America. The public square cannot be met on social media. Social media dehumanizes each other as neighbors. For centuries, neighbors and leaders met in the public square to listen, learn, debate, and grow together. Common Grounds is a grassroots effort to revitalize the public square.
Where we live, work, and invest should matter to all local and regional residents. Millions of local and regional tax dollars are funneled into community development and enhancement projects.
It is our goal to help the community to better know the leaders entrusted with oversight and distribution. It is equally important that residents of our community both locally and regionally understand how community development projects will affect their lifestyle, their home values, and businesses.
How Will Common Ground Make Difference?
Knowing this, Common Grounds is focused on supporting educators, families, and students. Where we believe we win is through focusing on student first leaders and initiatives.
How Will Common Grounds Make Difference
Transparency begins with access to open forums and debates where local citizens can engage with hopeful leaders. To ensure representative leadership, elected leaders must be available and willing to listen, learn, and engage the community he/she hopes to represent.
