ML
Maya Laurent
Shapes the overall public direction of the organization, keeping the editorial and institutional sides of the work aligned.
Our team
A civic project should show the people who are carrying it.
The team page is meant to read like a portrait spread rather than a directory. Each person contributes a distinct role, but the organization should still feel coherent in voice, tone, and public purpose.
People
A small team with distinct responsibilities and one shared tone.
This layout is intentionally closer to an editorial portrait spread than a directory. As real photography is added, the structure can stay the same.

Simple org view
Leadership, editorial, and field work should remain visibly connected.
This is not a formal org chart yet. It is a lightweight way to communicate how the work is currently distributed across the team.
Leadership
Keeps the organization institutionally coherent and publicly accountable.
Editorial
Frames questions, develops written work, and holds the intellectual standard of the platform.
Field and community
Turns the work into real rooms, relationships, and recurring participation.
