Good morning! Here's where the "action" in Central Oregon Civic Action Project begins. Take the 5-minute poll on AI in our communities here: cocap.us/ai [link in bio] More info below.

Most public input processes are only as representative as the barriers people face.
COCAP is built to change that. We select residents randomly across geography, income, age, and political background—and actively remove the obstacles that keep people from having meaningful voices.

This fall, we’ll bring a representative group of Central Oregonians together to deliberate on how generative AI is shaping our communities. But that work starts with broad input first.

COCAP is bringing Central Oregonians together online, in face-to-face small groups, and in a deliberative solution assembly to discuss how AI is shaping our communities and how we can build approaches to AI that benefit everyone.

Central Oregon’s problems don’t lack solutions. But too often, we lack ways to find common ground and act on them together.

COCAP creates structured, representative processes for residents to share their voices, discuss issues with their neighbors, and shape recommendations local leaders can act on.

Right now, COCAP IS asking Central Oregon a critical question: how can we shape the impacts generative AI is having on our economy, our jobs, our future? We need your voice in that conversation.
