Coffee, Councils & TikTok Civics with Katie Aiello
https://youtu.be/GWFRxwGx_Ec?si=GBDoKBkbPIey7cnh
On this episode I sit down with Katie Aiello for a long overdue conversation about local government, civic engagement, and using data to empower citizens. Katie is the founder of Character Coffee in Utica, NY, and found her calling in public service when she decided to run for Common Council. Now she's using social media and open data tools to shed light on the inner workings of her city.
We talk about how she's leveraging digital platforms to educate constituents and apply pressure for transparency. Find out how Katie is mining municipal data using Instagram and TikTok to help constituents think more critically about budgets, ARPA funds, and getting involved local politics. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to civic participation and government accountability.
