How you can help:
- Show up and speak, if you can!
- If you can write a speech, or a third of a speech, or an outline, or a few suggested talking points, they’ll make it easier for someone else who might be able to make it but have trouble figuring out what to say.
- If you can write something – email planning commission, especially Oliver, Sheih, and Kazi. Articles are great for this too – maybe pick one of the ones that circulated this weekend and send it along.
