What if we do not agree with everything Civic Voice is involved in?
We do not envisage that every member should support eery campaign. Our work is in no way binding on member civic societies. The diversity of the movement is one of the strengths of the civic society movement while it also make the process of developing policy interesting and challenging. We believe the positive advantages of participation and the positive impact on the confidence of the movement outweigh the disadvantages.
