This report discusses the connection between civic participation and health. It highlights the importance of civic infrastructure, with a focus on access to local news, broadband internet, and public libraries. The report also discusses structural barriers, such as policies, laws, and practices, that can create obstacles to forms of participation and in turn, implicate the health of communities where participation is limited.
