With the regularity of pages turning on a calendar, organizations—like the FiDi Neighborhood Association, Democracy for Battery Park City, and Save Our Sea- port—spring up to address concerns prioritized by local residents. Events like State Sena- tor Daniel Squadron’s annual Community Convention and panels like the School Overcrowding Task Force, convened by a coalition of elected officials, also deputize resi- dents not merely to speak, but also to act, by participating in decisions, strategy, and pol- icy. All of these campaigns share two characteristics: their purpose is often ad hoc, but the discourse is never ad hominem.
