Make a video. Serve the community.

Interested in local government? Want to make a difference in our community?
Many of the decisions that affect us on the coast are made right here in local government meetings. Few of these are filmed by Coastsider.  Some are filmed by our local community access channel, but these broadcasts are often a week after the event (diminishing your chance of affecting the debate) and they are typically broadcast only once, with limited further public access.
Coastsider is looking to expand its video coverage of local government meetings. Our plan is to develop a small pool of interested people (we will train and equip) who will then videotape these important government functions.
The videos will put online within 24 hours and will be available day and night (Coastsider will take care of getting them online).
We will cover meetings from beginning to end, and we will make the videos available online, organized in a user-friendly, meaningful way so that citizens who cannot attend these meetings will have a greater understanding of what decisions are being made and why.
Come, join us in our efforts to promote open government and a better democracy. For a few hours of your time a month you can make a real difference here on the coast.
