AI overview
Civil society refers to the groups and organizations—like nonprofits, clubs, and community associations—that people create and join on their own, separate from government. It matters because these citizen-led institutions allow people to come together around shared interests and values, giving them a way to address community needs and have a voice in society outside of politics.
