Your Local Conversation Graphics and Print Starter Kit

A Resource for Strong Towns Local Leaders

Our Local Conversation network is full of people who care deeply about their place and want to bring others along with them. To make that easier, our Communications Intern, Gioia Calabretta, created a fantastic packet designed specifically for Local Conversation groups. It captures the heart of the movement and gives you ready-to-use tools for outreach, events, and building momentum right where you live.

This resource is here to help you gather your neighbors, spark conversations, and build a stronger community from the bottom up.

Edit the Packet in Canva

Want to customize the packet for your group? You can edit your own version directly in Canva using this template.

Add local images, tailor the text, or include details about your next meetup. Make it feel like your place.

Download the Packet as a PDF

You can download the full packet as a PDF here and share it with your group, city partners, or anyone who wants to learn more. We've also created a PDF with just the walkthrough of the 5 campaigns, if you prefer that.

Using the Strong Towns Logo

Local Conversation groups are part of the Strong Towns movement and can represent Strong Towns in their community. At the same time, it is important that groups clearly identify themselves as independent, locally led efforts and not as the national organization.

Here is what you need to know about using the Strong Towns logo and name:

1. Logo Use
   Groups may use the Strong Towns logo as long as it has been visibly modified to show that it belongs to a local group. This can be as simple as adding your city or region name beside or underneath the logo.

2. Name Use
   When using the words “Strong Towns,” always include a clarifying phrase.
   For example:

   • Strong Towns Santa Barbara

   • Strong Towns Central Florida

   • Strong Towns North Edmonton

   This helps the public understand that you are inspired by and connected to the Strong Towns movement, while still being a locally organized group.

3. Representation
   Local Conversation groups can speak to Strong Towns ideas and represent the movement in their community but should not present themselves as the official Strong Towns organization. Think of yourselves as powerful local branches of a larger network.

Keep Building

Your work is what makes the Strong Towns movement come alive in real neighborhoods. This packet is just one tool to help you gather people, share ideas, and push for positive change.
