Each month at Art Walk, we gather signatures on petitions calling for a Constitutional amendment. We plan to reach out to groups (such as the Hispanic, Black, and Asian chambers of commerce) to seek their endorsement of our work before going back to our City Council. We will hold a Funeral for Democracy again in January 2014.

"Funeral for Democracy"After the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United vs FEC Corpus Christi organizers established the tradition of holding a mock funeral at the intersection of Staples and SPID to remind citizens of the disastrous decision and how it's effecting our democracy. On Jan 18 from 4 to 6pm come out and join the mourning.

City Council
The City Council is the City's Legislative body and is composed of the Mayor, one Member from each of the five Districts, and three At-Large Members. The citizens elect each to a two-year term. Five members constitute a quorum, which is required to conduct City business. The Council appoints the City Manager, City Secretary, City Auditor and Municipal Judges.
Corpus Christi has a Council-Manager form of local government. Policies are set by the Mayor and Council who are elected by the citizens. Policies are carried out by the City Manager. The Council decides what is to be done and the City Manager implements it with the assistance of the entire City Staff. |
