This entry is an abbreviated trailer for a web series launching in May called "Engaging People"—citizens who are engaged and actively making change in their communities. They serve as role models of service, volunteerism and political action every day and in crisis situations (including the after effects of Hurricane Sandy), illustrating what it means to be an active participant in American democracy. The online series will provide inspired examples of how empowered citizens improve communities and society in a wide array of positive ways.
