Advocacy
Advocacy is coming
Guides, what is coming up, and ways to get involved.
Plain-language guides to acting on city government: which body decides the thing you care about, which meeting takes public comment on it, and what a public records request has to say to be answered. Beside them, what is coming up: the hearings, workshops and comment deadlines worth knowing about while there is still time to act on them, and the concrete ways to take part. Written for somebody who has never been to a city meeting and has an afternoon.
What you will be able to do
- Guides: which committee or commission decides a thing, found before it is decided rather than read about afterwards.
- Events: the hearings, workshops and comment deadlines coming up, and what actually happens when you speak at one.
- Ways to get involved: asking the city for a record in words it can answer rather than a question it can refuse.
Going live soon — stay tuned.
