Thank you for joining A Better Cambridge! We're a volunteer organization that runs on the energy of our members. If you're interested in engaging more with ABC, we have a few opt-in subgroups that you can sign up for and some work groups you can express interest in joining. For the work groups, you're only expressing interest, not committing. One of us will reach out to talk with you about the details of volunteering.

Subgroups

"Active ABCers" Google Group - Our high-traffic email discussion group, for discussing and debating policy ideas, tracking project progress, and sharing links with one another.

Slack - We also have a Slack workspace, for those who prefer chat-based protocols to email.

Book Club - We have a reading group about housing policy and other urbanist topics. You'll receive our Book Club emails.

You don't need to sign up for any of these things; our regular member emails and Action Alerts will contain high-level updates about our work and what's going on around Cambridge, including meeting announcements.
