I do love the idea of “citizen days”
Perhaps we could have a “citizen day” that is a fun lil expo of everything going on, how to get involved, etc. showcasing different parts of TSP community and TSP gov? Bc while not every part requires citizenship, knowing and promoting these parts can help people be more enthusiastic about TSP as a whole and may lead to more people wanting to be an active citizen. That’s my thought at least.
Like a hypothetical week even, one day the RMB community can talk about why they like the things, the next day SPSF, the day after RP, legislators. Little blurbs from people in TSP that are involved in different areas. Doesn’t have to be big and elaborate, maybe someone from the community talks about why they like it.
While I do agree with removing leniency, I do also agree with the complaints. Long wait time to become a citizen, maybe not the most beginner-friendly attitude, maybe people have some confusion.
When I was chair way, way back in the day when I tried a mentorship approach for new legislators, while that idea was… not the most effective in terms of execution, perhaps it’s something to think about, resources to new people, specifically, human resources. We definitely don’t need that sort of approach to things for sure. Nothing structured, what we do isn’t rocket science. But maybe the “citizen days” idea is like a little bit of a bridge there, where it’s more of a showcase. Could even work out like a “why I became a citizen” spotlight.
Idk maybe I’m thinking too corporate
