Ask me what its like! Running for Office & Civic Assemblies
Archtober Newburgh is an annual festival of 25+ free events that celebrates the city's rich architectural heritage, connects people to resources and promotes local initiatives in the community.
Peter Spear, co-founder of Futures Hudson, ran for public office this past year with a campaign rooted in deepening local democracy. Drawing on his work building spaces for imagination and civic dialogue, Spear’s central focus was establishing civic assemblies—regular gatherings where residents can deliberate, set priorities, and shape policy together. His campaign emphasized inclusive participation, transparency, and a belief that communities thrive when decision-making is shared. Hell be round to answer curious questions from anyone dropping in
