You have the power to help our community — by learning, volunteering, speaking out and donating. Your involvement with NCA enables us to truly create a 'community' within our hometown! 

Learn More

nca logo_fbFind out how NCA is empowering the individual citizen for change in Novato.

Break away from your normal routine to learn more about the issue. Ask questions while chatting with family, friends, neighbors and local community leaders. Take an interest in others' experiences and opinions, then make up your own mind about the issues. Try to stay up-to-date on action alerts, current legislation, and recent key votes.

You don’t have to be an activist to make a difference. Be an example to all your friends and neighbors in Novato by simply talking the talk and walking the walk always in a respectful manner. Your kind influences will bring growth to the 'localized control' movement. As Gandhi said, "We must become the change we wish to see."
